Abstract: A long holding strap, which depending on the counter-clockwise or clockwise lacing of the strap, can assist the user in holding an engine pulley from turning in order to tighten or loosen the hold down nut or bolt, due to the friction exerted on the strap itself. The strap differs from other similar type products on the market today in that there are no other needed attachments that may interfere with the other engine components, while the engine is still installed in the vehicle where there is limited space and access.
