Abstract
A display hanger for an article such as a screwdriver includes a body having an aperture for receiving a hanger hook, and a downwardly depending tongue. The tongue includes a pair of arch-shaped pockets which are open at a rear face of the body. An elastomeric grommet is installable into the body. The grommet is formed of one piece and includes two arch-shaped sections and an integral web interconnecting the sections to define a hinge. The grommet sections include respective holes which can be brought into alignment by folding the grommet about the hinge. The sections of the folded grommet can be inserted simultaneously into the pockets and held therein by friction and/or rib-and-groove couplings. The screwdriver is inserted vertically through both holes of the grommet and retained therein by friction fit.
