A tool holder containing at least one service tool for servicing a power-operated device. The tool holder is permanently attached to a retractable pull cord incorporated into a manual starter of a power-operated device. The service tool or tools are pivotally mounted on the tool holder, allowing the service tool or tools to be folded out for servicing the power operated device and subsequently folded in and stowed compactly within the main body of the tool holder. The tool holder may include a mechanism for reducing the recoil of the manual starter. A cord locking means secures the retractable pull cord of the manual starter in a retracted state. The cord locking means affords a range of mobility to the tool holder, permitting the tool holder and service tools thereon to be easily used to service a power-operated device.
