ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An apparatus which attaches to a single form board for positioning items so that they may subsequently be embedded in concrete is disclosed. A holding device includes a fastener which attaches to an exterior vertical surface of the form board. A wrench receiver rigidly attaches to the fastener and rests upon a top surface of the form board. A wrench slidably mates with the wrench receiver and projects horizontally toward the interior of the form. The wrench includes a nut, into which an anchor bolt may be threaded. A cradle may be installed on the anchor bolt for positioning and tying reinforcing bar (rebar) relative to the anchor bolt. The cradle includes a spacer which has a bolt hole into which the anchor bolt fits. The bolt hole is dimensioned so that the cradle may slide on the anchor bolt, but binds against the anchor bolt when it in not positioned perpendicular to the anchor bolt. The cradle additionally includes a finger which causes the cradle to have a "V" shape. The rebar may be retained in the point of the "V". In addition, the cradle has a rebar hole for receiving rebar. The rebar hole is configured in cooperation with the finger so that when rebar fits through the rebar hole and rests on the finger while the cradle is installed on an anchor bolt, the rebar is substantially horizontal.
