1. A stepladder comprising: a front side, said front side comprised of a first front rail, and a second front rail in parallel with the first front rail and in spaced relationship therewith, said front side also comprised of a plurality of front rungs, each front rung being connected to the first front rail and the second front rail and perpendicular thereto, each front rung in parallel and in spaced relationship with the other front rungs;a rear side, said rear side comprised of a first rear rail and a second rear rail in parallel with the first rear rail and in spaced relationship therewith, said rear side also comprised of a plurality of rear rungs, each rear rung connected to the first rear rail and the second rear rail and perpendicular thereto, each rear rung in parallel and in spaced relationship with the other rear rungs;a top, said front side and rear side fixedly attached to the top such that the front side and rear side can be folded together into a closed position where the front side and rear side are essentially in parallel or opened about the top into an operational position where the front side and rear side are at an angular relationship and a workman can climb to a desired rung and perform whatever work is desired; anda pipe or tube holder rotatably connected to and disposed between the first rear rail and the second rear rail of the rear side which holds a tube or a pipe, the pipe or tube holder includes a first hook rotatably connected to the first rear rail and a second hook rotatably connected to the second rear rail, each hook having a C shape which conforms with a circular cross-sectional shape of the tube or pipe, the tube or pipe disposed in the C shape of each hook, and a stamping to which the first and second hooks are connected in alignment with each other, the stamping attached at the stamping's ends to a bottom of the C shape of the first and second hooks and extending therebetween, the stamping separate and apart from the rear side, the stamping attached to the first and second hooks; by rotating the stamping, the first and second hooks move in unison with the stamping between a retracted position and an open position, the first and second hooks hold a first pipe in parallel to the rear rungs when the first pipe is disposed on the first and second hooks, the stamping includes a scallop portion upon which a second pipe is held and rests perpendicular to the first pipe and contacts the first pipe when the second pipe is resting on the scallop portion so joints or fittings between the first pipe and second pipe can be created and held while the first pipe is held by the first and second hooks, the stamping having a flat plate, the scallop portion formed in the plate and having a circular slot extending down from a top edge of the plate which receives and conforms with a circular cross-sectional shape of the second pipe, the first and second hooks extending perpendicularly from the plate, the pipe or tube holder disposed below a rung of the rear side, in the retracted position, the stamping extending behind and in spaced relation with the rear side, in the open position, the stamping extending in front of and in spaced relationship with the rear side so the pipe is held by the first and second hooks in front of the rear side and a spring which automatically retracts the pipe or tube holder to the retracted position from the open position when the first pipe is moved from the first and second hooks, the first pipe maintains the pipe or tube holder in the open position when the first pipe is disposed on the first and second hooks which prevents the pipe or tube holder from retracting. 2. A stepladder as described in claim 1 wherein the pipe or tube holder includes a first side shield and a second side shield fixedly attached to the first rear rail and the second rear rail respectively, to protect the respective rear rail, each rail shield covering the respective rails web and flange outer surface. 3. A stepladder as described in claim 2 wherein the pipe or tube holder includes a first mounting bracket connected to the first rear rail and the first hook, and a second mounting bracket connected to the second rear rail and the second hook. 4. A stepladder comprising: a front side, said front side comprised of a first front rail, and a second front rail in parallel with the first front rail and in spaced relationship therewith, said front side also comprised of a plurality of front rungs, each front rung being connected to the first front rail and the second front rail and perpendicular thereto, each front rung in parallel and in spaced relationship with the other front rungs;a rear side, said rear side comprised of a first rear rail and a second rear rail in parallel with the first rear rail and in spaced relationship therewith, said rear side also comprised of a plurality of rear rungs, each rear rung connected to the first rear rail and the second rear rail and perpendicular thereto, each rear rung in parallel and in spaced relationship with the other rear rungs;a top, said front side and rear side fixedly attached to the top such that the front side and rear side can be folded together into a closed position where the front side and rear side are essentially in parallel or opened about the top into an operational position where the front side and rear side are at an angular relationship and a workman can climb to a desired rung and perform whatever work is desired, the front side and the rear side and the top together defining a frame;a pipe or tube holder fixedly attached to the first rear rail and the second rear rail of the rear side which holds a tube or a pipe, the pipe or tube holder includes a first hook rotatably connected to the first rear rail and a second hook rotatably connected to the second rear rail, each hook having a C shape which conforms with a circular cross-sectional shape of the tube or pipe, the tube or pipe disposed in the C shape of each hook, and a stamping to which the first and second hooks are connected in alignment with each other, the stamping separate and apart from the rear side, the stamping attached to the first and second hooks, the stamping attached at the stamping's ends to a bottom of the C shape of the first and second hooks and extending therebetween; by rotating the stamping, the first and second hooks move in unison with the stamping between a retracted position and an open position, the first and second hooks hold a first pipe in parallel to the rear rungs when the first pipe is disposed on the first and second hooks, the stamping includes a scallop portion upon which a second pipe is held and rests perpendicular to the first pipe and contacts the first pipe when the second pipe is resting on the scallop portion so joints or fittings between the first pipe and second pipe can be created and held while the first pipe is held by the first and second hooks, the stamping having a flat plate, the scallop portion formed in the plate and having a circular slot extending down from a top edge of the plate which receives and conforms with a circular cross-sectional shape of the second pipe, the first and second hooks extending perpendicularly from the plate, and a spring which automatically retracts the pipe or tube holder to the retracted position from the open position when the first pipe is moved from the first and second hooks, the first pipe maintains the pipe or tube holder in the open position when the first pipe is disposed on the first and second hooks which prevents the pipe or tube holder from retracting;a metal strap bender made of metal attached to a rail or a rear rung, the strap bender having a rectangular shaped opening through which a metal strap is inserted to be bent, the bender configured to be used to bend the metal strap 90°; anda utility hook fixedly attached to either the front or rear side and positioned between the front side and rear side and inside the frame when the front and rear sides are in the operational position so as not to create a tipping hazard.
