What are you doing for ice tool hangs?

I'd like to work some ice tool hanging into my training.  The prior owner of my house finished the entire basement, so I don't really have a good unfinished space to hang from wood ceiling beams, for example, and I'm a little leary of hooking my tools over the pullup bar over my doorway (metal on metal can't be good for either).  I'm curious what others use.

If my ice tools can't handle hanging from a pull-up bar, I need new ice tools. Just go for it... put a towel on the pull-up bar if you want.

I cut a section of a pool noodle and duct taped it for reinforcement. I just put it on my pull-up bar and put the tool on top. 

You could also see if you can buy some old straight shaft tools for cheap (no pinky rest = more grip training) and just duct tape foam on those picks to make them a permanent training tool. 

Last suggestion... buy some training tools like Furnace or similar... rubber and wood is not going to mess up your metal bar.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
