Sometimes the simplest tools are the best. Here's a solution when you are struggling to hold something and there is no one around to help. The chrome, heavy duty magnetic base, has a hook-and-loop strap that can hold anything up to 2" diameter snug and secure. Ever want to hold a trouble light under the hood just so? How about securing an extension cord on the side of your workbench? You get the picture... Writing me a "Thank You" will cost more than buying it.
