ABSTRACT:
A retractable tool support mounts on a wall or other structure above a shop floor. The support is movable between a stored position and a use position. In the stored position. a tool carrier is horizontal and at an elevated position against the wall. In the use position, the tool carrier is horizontal and at a lowered position spaced out from the wall for access. The tool support includes a spring biased linkage biasing the support towards the stored position and counterbalancing the weight of a tool mounted on the tool carrier. The linkage maintains the tool carrier and tool in a horizontal orientation as the support is moved between the stored and use positions. A latch holds the support in the stored position.
