Belt clip for hand-held power tools

摘要

A belt clip can be side-mounted to a drill/driver to facilitate holstering of the drill/driver and to reduce the profile of the drill/driver. The side-mounted belt clip can be positioned to enable the drill/driver to be grasped in the ergonomically desirable thumb-rest and power-grip holds. The side-mounted belt clip can be adapted to facilitate the wielding of the tool by providing additional surfaces for the fingers and thumb to contact when grasping the tool. The belt clip can also be detachably mounted to a tool and can be designed to provide curved surfaces which match the profile of the user's thumb and fingers for comfort.
