The socket is disposed on a bracket which may be slidably engaged onto a supporting beam or belt and which may be secured onto the tool member with a fastener belt that may be separated from or may be formed integral with the bracket.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A tool carrying device comprising: 
 a socket including a channel formed therein, and    a tool member including a head provided thereon and detachably engaged into said channel for detachably securing said tool member to said socket.    
     
     
         2 . The tool carrying device according to  claim 1 , wherein said socket includes a front wall having a slot formed therein, said tool member includes an extension for slidably engaged into said slot of said socket, said head is provided on said extension.  
     
     
         3 . The tool carrying device according to  claim 2 , wherein said front wall of said socket includes an orifice formed therein and communicating with said slot of said socket and having a diameter greater than a width of said slot of said socket, said extension includes a cut surface formed therein for allowing said extension to engage through said slot and into said orifice of said socket.  
     
     
         4 . The tool carrying device according to  claim 1  further comprising a bracket having said socket provided thereon.  
     
     
         5 . The tool carrying device according to  claim 1 , wherein said tool member includes a block having said head provided thereon, and means for securing said block to said tool member.  
     
     
         6 . The tool carrying device according to  claim 5 , wherein said securing means includes a fastener belt for securing said block to said tool member.  
     
     
         7 . The tool carrying device according to  claim 6 , wherein said securing means includes at least one aperture formed in said block for receiving said fastener belt and for allowing said fastener belt to secure said block to said tool member.  
     
     
         8 . The tool carrying device according to  claim 5 , wherein said block includes a curved surface formed therein and a plurality of teeth formed on said curved surface thereof for engaging with said tool member.
