Abstract: A tool for holding a torch having a fuel containing cylinder at one end and a flame directing nozzle at an opposite end. The tool has a base with first and second parts arranged in a cooperative stacked relationship relative to each other and defining a spherical socket therebetween. The second part of the base has an open top. A positioning receptacle is seated and rotatable within the spherical socket defined by the base. The receptacle has a spherical outer surface and a cylindrical blind cavity opening to the spherical outer surface of the receptacle so as to receive and releasably hold a lengthwise portion of the fuel containing cylinder therewithin. A manually operable, spring biased assembly is mounted in operable combination with first and second parts of the base and is operable in either a locked condition or an unlocked condition. In the locked condition, the spring biased assembly applies a first clamping force to the outer spherical surface of the receptacle to restrain the receptacle in a selected and adjusted position and against movement relative to the base and applies a reduced clamping force to the outer spherical surface of the receptacle when in an unlocked condition.
