The present invention relates to a support for holding at least one tool, in particular a surgical tool, in particular a dental surgery tool, which tool has a length between a proximal end and a distal end, said support comprising at least one holding plate (7) horizontal extending between two vertical uprights (8) and provided with at least one orifice (9) extending through the holding plate (7), said orifice (9) being adapted to receive the tool, and a base (10) extending parallel to the holding plate (7) and having a horizontal bearing surface facing the holding plate (7) and on which the distal end of the tool is intended to rest, said base (10) being movable relative to the holding plate (7) so that the bearing surface is placed at a variable distance from the holding plate (7); said support is remarkable in that it comprises a rectangular arch (11) integral with the upper end of the uprights (8), said hoop (11) extending horizontally, parallel to the holding plate (7) which extends between the uprights (8) from the middle portion of said uprights (8), said uprights (8) having a decreasing thickness from the upper wall of the holding plate (7) to their upper ends. La présente invention concerne un support pour maintenir au moins un outil, notamment un outil de chirurgie, en particulier un outil de chirurgie dentaire, lequel outil présente une longueur entre une extrémité proximale et une extrémité distale, ledit support comportant au moins une plaque de maintien (7) horizontale s'étendant entre deux montants verticaux (8) et pourvue d'au moins un orifice (9) s'étendant au travers de la plaque de maintien (7), ledit orifice (9) étant adapté pour recevoir l'outil, et un socle (10) s'étendant parallèlement à la plaque de maintien (7) et présentant une surface d'appui horizontale en regard de la plaque de maintien (7) et sur laquelle l'extrémité distale de l'outil est destinée à reposer, ledit socle (10) étant déplaçable par rapport à la plaque de maintien
