Abstract: A tool for holding small parts and for immobilizing the parts during cleaning or other treatment with a fluid. The tool includes first and second porous members which encompass the part. At least one of the first and second members is deformable to partially conform to the part. The tool has elements for holding or securing the first and second members together during cleaning. The tool may also have a handle connected to the first and second porous members. The handle may be spring biased so that the first and second members are normally held together to enclose a part. The handle can be manipulated to move the first and second members apart when it is desired to insert or remove a part from between them.
