Abstract: A nail holding device has a first lever and a second lever. The first lever has a first lever holding section. A first lever handle section extends from the first lever holding section. The first lever holding section extends horizontally below the first lever handle section. A plurality of semi-conical openings is formed along a length of an inside edge of the first lever holding section. Each of the semi-conical openings has a different size opening formed in an apex area of each semi-conical opening, wherein the size openings decrease from a proximate end to a distal end of the first lever holding section. The second lever is pivotably coupled to the first lever. The second lever has a second lever holding section having a smooth inside edge. A second lever handle section extends from the second lever holding section. The second lever holding section extends horizontally below the first lever handle section. A pivot joint pivotably couples the first lever to the second lever.
