Abstract: A chainsaw holder has a holder body. The holder body includes a top hook portion having a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment forming a top hook portion opening, a cutter bar retaining portion having a proximal retaining portion end and a distal retaining portion end where the proximal retaining portion end is connected to the top hook portion, and a guard portion connected to the distal retaining portion end. The cutter bar retaining portion forms a bump out that extends away from the top hook portion opening where the bump out has a first slot and a second slot spaced and parallel to the first slot where the second slot is aligned with the first slot.

Abstract: A sling for positioning a large-diameter hose (such as a fire hose) while the hose is under pressure is provided. The sling of the present invention comprises two handles having respective U-shaped sleeves for carrying a flexible, elongate, flat strap for carrying the hose. The strap has two ends looped through respective sleeves of the handles and secured to the strap to form two respective loops about the sleeves. The loops are dimensioned to permit rotation of the sleeves in the loops. The strap is dimensioned to have a length between the sleeves that is between about 95 and 160 percent of the height of the individual using the sling. Preferrably, the length of the strap is about 133 percent the height of the individual using the sling. This dimensioning of the strap permits the individual using the sling to predominately employ the individual's leg muscles, rather than the individual's back muscles, to drag the hose.
