We're a fan of these hooks

While removing and disassembling an old ceiling fan, I realized the brackets for the fan blades might be useful. As it turns out, they make excellent hooks in the shop. Mount them to a wall or workbench with a couple of screws. The hooks are perfect for air hoses, extension cords, vacuum hoses, and even my shop apron.
