Abstract: The present invention is a device for holding a fastener for fastening or unfastening of said fastener. It includes an elongated member having a central portion, the central portion being a handle, and having a first and second end. The elongated member has a central axis. The first end of the elongated member has a first pair of gripping fingers substantially parallel with the central axis, and the second end has a second pair of gripping fingers substantially non-parallel with the central axis. The first pair of gripping fingers and the second pair of gripping fingers each have opposing fingers with non-straight inside opposing surfaces, and include a biasing spring that biases each gripping finger of each pair of gripping fingers toward one another. The first pair of gripping fingers and the second pair of gripping fingers are adapted to removably retain a fastener.
