A utility hook assembly is disclosed that conveniently secures to a planar surface such as the bottom of a counter or cabinet, and has a plurality of hooks that extend perpendicular to a mounting base. The base includes on an outer surface a fixed bracket with a pair of eyelets that are collinear at an edge of the mounting bracket. The eyelets each receive one end of a suspended hook member such that the suspended hook members can swing/pivot about their respective eyelet in separate but parallel vertical planes. The opposite ends of the hook members are collinear and laterally extended in opposite directions. Disposed on an inner surface of the base is one or more magnets positioned above the intersection of the opposite ends of the hook members and the base when the hook members are fully rotated parallel to the base. The magnets allow the hooks to attach to the base without any other mechanical attachments, providing a simple and reliable attachment mode for the utility hooks.
