A braking device is provided for braking or immobilising a shaft in a work tool, particularly a saw chain, hedge shears or the like. The braking device has a brake band that at surrounds at least part of an area of the shaft, in which the brake band forms an effective plane, and two brake band holders with which the brake band may be placed under tension and released, in which at least one brake band holder is constructed movably, and in which a movable brake band holder is arranged with little space requirement in the braking device. At least one brake band holder is mounted outside the effective plane of the brake band so that it is rotatable about the axis of rotation or about an approximately parallel axis or shaft and/or so that it is able to be moved in a linear direction on a plane that is approximately orthogonal with the shaft.
