I have a basement with exposed first-floor joists - and a number of
long tools (e.g., a 6' long drill) that I would like to store on
hangers fastened to the joists. I have not found much in the way of
ready-made hangers for this purpose, even though they would be rather
simple items: squared U-shaped brackets, with one end bent over a little
so items would not roll out, drilled for fastening to the bottom of
joists (in my situation, where the items would be sorted at right angles
to the joists). I have seen only one type made for this, made from bent
tubing, but it hung nearly a foot down from the joist, which is too much
for my low basement). Also, I don't have the tools for bending up such
brackets myself in the thickness of aluminum strap that would be strong
enough. What stores have suitable brackets (I have looked in Home
Depot, Loewes, Stadium Hardware, and Meijers).

I have been thinking of making them in wood. You have more space for
your hangers, but the general idea is to be considered. They don't
*have* to be open on one (or both) sides, like a shelf, but that
would make it easier to place and remove items. I want about 8
hangers, but have wanted to make their construction and installation
as simple as possible (so I guess I'm using time thinking rather than
just doing it..... 8^}).
