Time for some more upgrades!
After looking over my previous hanger options I decided to improve upon them. Most new cordless tools have built in hangers. Typically heavy-gauge metal clips that hook onto a belt or waistband. I picked up some of those in previous thrift stores and pawn shops, thinking they might prove useful for something. (Mainly I was thinking I could screw them to the wall and hang something loose from them). Having several kinds I thought, "Why try and re-invent the wheel? Perhaps I could modify and use them on the Makita's?"
Here's my first attempt. The attachment holes don't really line up with the screw holes in the handle, but with a metal bit can be adapted. This unknown hook is the heaviest of the ones I have. Took some metal spacers and longer screws and put it together.
Doesn't look too bad. The battery spring cap means it has to be a bit further out from the tool than I'd like, but can't be helped. Perhaps a bent sheet metal guard will be needed to allow the user to slide it over a belt without the rubber impact buffer pin from catching. It isn't in the way when using the light, and might prove even better on a heavy drill.
