A display bracket assembly for holding an elongated tool, comprising:

• a generally L-shaped bracket member including a rear wall and a laterally extending support wall adjacent one end thereof, said rear wall having means spaced above said support wall for engaging a first portion of the tool, and said support wall having a channel extending longitudinally therethrough and inwardly from one edge thereof for receiving a second portion of the tool;
• a displaceable slide member slidably engaged on said support wall of said bracket member and including a portion extending transversely of said channel along said one edge of said support wall, said element blocking said channel to thereby trap the second portion of the tool within said support wall and to thereby prevent removal of the tool when said slide member is in place;
• and means for disengageably locking said slide member in assembly with said bracket member, said locking means including at least one resiliently deflectable prong on said slide member having a locking dog adjacent its free end, said locking dog being snap fit behind the end of said bracket member support wall opposite to said one edge thereof.
