I got tired of tripping over the hose on the floor so I made a quick hose hanger and bolted it onto the end of a Systainer. I’ve currently got a sander stored inside the Systainer and 4” F-Clamps hung from the other end. I’m still figuring out how to optimize it, but so far I really like this addition.

Smart! Sometimes it’s the simple things that make a difference. I shamelessly stole the idea. Thanks!

I went even simpler;  aided by the fact that I use a Sys-toolbox on top of my vac.

The SysToolbox has a hollow handle, and I found I could easily fabricate a piece that slides into the end of the open handle, and has a peg that sticks up far enough to keep the hose from falling off.  An added advantage is I can park my hose brush on the peg so it is always at hand.

A small zip tie ensures it won't work its way loose.  There is a slot in the Sys-toolbox handle so no new holes are required.

You'll see a second hole in the photo;  this was pre-existing in the scrap I used for this and unrelated to this application.

If I had it to do over again, I'd make the peg shorter;  someday when I'm bored I'll cut it down a bit.  But otherwise it works great, and I really like always having the brush handy.

Nice ideas - I’m not quite there yet making something, but the open toolbox is handy, for now.
