Abstract: A chain saw holder for holding and supporting a chain saw during refueling, repair and other maintenance operations is disclosed. The chain saw holder includes a clamp for clamping to a fixed support such as a work bench, fence post, or tree branch. An extension member extends away from the clamp to a handle bar attachment means which provides a mouth for receiving a portion of the handle bar and releasably gripping the handle bar therein. The attachment means is adapted to provide for pivotal movement of the mouth about an axis generally perpendicular to the extension member so that the gripped portion of the handle bar is received by the mouth and is gripped in any orientation aligned with, oblique to, or perpendicular to the extension member. The chain saw holder is thereby capable of holding and supporting the saw regardless of the orientation of the fixed support or the extension member.
