Abstract
An engine-powered work tool includes: a shaft extending in a first direction; an engine at a rear end portion of the shaft; a fuel tank disposed below the engine in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and a stand fixed to the engine. The stand includes a fastening portion fixed to a front end portion of the engine, and a curved portion extending from the fastening portion and curving toward a rear end portion of the engine. The curved portion provides a lower end portion positioned downstream of a bottom end portion of the fuel tank in the second direction. The lower end portion has a distal end positioned upstream of the rear end portion of the fuel tank in the first direction, the distal end and the bottom end of the fuel tank defining a gap therebetween in the second direction.
