ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for gripping a fluid carrying hose comprising a jaw sized for placement about a pressurized hose, the jaw having a first end portion and a second end portion distal and generally opposite to the first end portion, a handgrip pivotally attached to the first end portion of the jaw, the handle having a normal position, and a plunger movably secured in the first end portion of the jaw. The plunger has a first end for contacting a portion of the handgrip and a second end opposite the first end of the plunger for grasping the surface of the pressurized hose. The plunger is responsive to the movement of the handgrip wherein the plunger moves in a first direction toward the second end portion of the jaw as the handgrip is pivoted in one direction and wherein the plunger moves in a second direction away from the second end portion of the jaw as the handgrip is moved back to the normal position.
