Abstract: A holder for securing objects having a plate for securing to a surface and a pair of opposed grippers rotatably mounted on the plate. The grippers are mirror images of each other and configured with a body, a heel on the butt end of the body and an upwardly arcing nose on the body opposite the heel with a curved gripping surface extending between the heel and the nose. The grippers are biased toward each other such that noses abut each other when there is no object between the grippers. An object to be secured is inserted between the grippers and the grippers rotate apart to accommodate the object and the biasing spring urges the grippers towards each other to secure the object between the grippers.
