Abstract: A lockable pipe support holding device of the plier type is provided, having large flat jaws for gripping pipe straps, shoes, hangers and materials. The jaws have a textured inner surface and notched grooves along the lateral edges to promote firm grip on metal and bending of the same. A “U” shaped recess along the front edge of the jaws allows fasteners to be inserted into a strap or similar object being securely held by the tool. A user may adjust the gap between jaws by means of an adjustment screw in a handle. In addition the jaws may be locked in place and then unlocked by means of a lever housed in a handle. Consequently, a user may insert fasteners into a working area of an object without having to hold onto the tool while doing so.
