A device for holding lines in a holder secured around an object such as a shaft of garden equipment. The device comprises a hollow body having an outer surface and an inner surface, two opposing end surfaces; a plurality of longitudinal bores passing through the body from the end surfaces, wherein each of the bores is configured to receive and hold an individual line; and at least one fastener to secure the body to an object. Each of the bores has a substantially straight axis so that the individual lines when inserted, remain securely retained, and are conveniently removed when needed. The device body may be further divided into two body segments with one or more flanges on each of the two body segments, and an aperture on each of the one or more flanges for receiving a fastener to securely lock the body to the object.
