An improved hose gripping tool is provided for use with high pressure hoses such as fire hoses. The apparatus includes a saddle which has offset opposed curved jaws that can abut a section of hose on opposite sides, 180 DEG apart. A handle connected to the device allows an operator, such as a fireman, to grip the apparatus. The apparatus reduces the possibility of inadvertent slippage, lessens the strain of supporting the hose and reduces exhaustion commonly experienced by firemen over a long period of time during fire-fighting with such hoses.
