Abstract

An apparatus to support a hand held motorized tool in an inverted position that allows easy removal of the tool for hand held purposes. The apparatus is defined by a receiver in a frame and an opening for removal of the tool. A lid may further stabilize the tool. When mounted in the receiver the lateral and upper movement of the tool is restricted. When removed from the receiver the tool has attached to it only a sub base-plate that is comparable in size to the tool. The receiver may be removable or built into a tabletop.
