I welded a steel hollow 'handle' onto a club-hammer head, into which I can 
insert the chisel. (attached to the hammer by an elastic cord).  I also welded
a 
small 'loop' onto the side of the hammer handle (up near the head) from which I 
can attach the whole lot via a piston clip to my waist-band on my harness.

I have a flat crowbar (ie made out of flat metal - not rounded metal), which 
fits into a snorkel holder on my dry-suit, on the right side of my leg.

Lifting bags go into what my 'friends' call my "handbag"! This is a small bag 
that clips onto the harness webbing. Also contains deco SMB, goodie bag, etc. 

I don't like the idea of items hanging off me...I try to get everything 
streamlined and easy to get at / put back.
