Default Almost straight hooks, do they have a special name?

I'm after some hooks, for utensils and such.

The ones I'm after are essentially just a metal bar sticking out at
right angles from the wall (or the mounting bar to which they're
fixed) with the end just turned up a little. The total length would
be, say, 5cm with 3cm straight out from the wall and 2cm sloping
upwards slightly.

Do these have a special name? Has anyone seen a supplier who sells
them? Individual hooks or a mounting bar with 6 to 10 hooks would
both be OK.

No, not quite. Dresser hooks have the end turned up at right angles,
the hooks I'm thinking of have the end turned up at a much shallower
angle. The shallow angle makes it really easy to slide things onto
the hook.

These?

knobs on, these: http://tinyurl.com/zqm2uh2

No, see my previous reply, I'm after hooks with a gently sloping end
rather than one that's vertical.

Yes, I'd found those but I suspect they're rather bigger than I'm
after though I will take a look.

Good news: I know exactly what you mean as I bought a bar with 6 such
hooks for kitchen utensils from (I think) M&S. Much easier to use than
"cup hooks" or the like.

Bad news: that was c.1982!

More good news. I grabbed a couple of bars with hooks as you describe,
the bars being about four feet long.

The bad news? They came out of a DSLAM cabinet. The Openreach chap
left them on our garden wall. They sat there for a few days before
finding their way to my shed :-)

They're the right profile, yes. I'd want ones like the smaller ones
made of a single bar rather than two bar ones.

These are pretty close to what I'm after:-

However I really want something a bit shorter for fixing permanently
on a wall or cupboard panel.

You may well have got there by now but searching the supply sites for
shop fitters shows a fair range of such things .
A walk in most medium sized towns early in the morning usually finds a
skip outside some shop changing owners ,such items are often there
for the taking.

Almost...

"Tool Hooks" is a good image search, but they're probably bigger than
you want.

That's just about what I'm after, not incredibly elegant but not *so*
bad. Dead cheap too! :-)

Buy some of the short ones, cut the bent end off, make a wooden "back
plate" of whatever size you want, drill holes, push prongs in (make a
tight fit), screw to wall.

Yes, that may well be the answer, as you say this is DIY.

get some thick piano wire - say 3mm dia - crop it to lengths, bend all
the ends a tad, drill 3mm holes in a bit of oak, glue in with epoxy
after degreasing..

Make sure they're different lengths, and it can double as an mbira.

The ones I've seen seem to be plastic with kind of fingers sticking out
pointing slightly upward. dirtcheap in Wilkinsons.
However if you want single ones and need metal, I've not seen any.
