The rope handling device described herein comprises two cylindrical tubes adapted to have one pass longitudinally within the other, with a T or Y shaped journal attached to the end of the outer tube. An appropriate length of rope is positioned through the length of the inner tube and the rope is looped at the end extending out of the tubes and through a spreading journal or yoke, one portion of the loop extending out one side of the journal and another part extending out the other side of the journal and the completion of the loop extending out beyond the journal. The loop section of the rope has a stiffening means, such as a stiff spring wire embedded and securely fastened in the rope. The loop may be enlarged by pushing the rope through the spreader. The loop may be made smaller and tightened on any object encircled by the loop by pulling the rope through the tubes. By pulling the inner tube away from the loop the overall length of tubes may be expanded to a considerable length to permit positioning the loop over an object a considerable distance from the holder and is particularly adapted therefore to fastening boats to mooring posts.
