         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the box-like housing comprises holes configured to receive fasteners therethrough for securing the opposing arms in place in the receiving recesses. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the clamp comprises a gripping member that extends in a substantially perpendicular manner to the opposing arms, the collar comprises an extended bottom, and a gap is disposed between the gripping member and the extended bottom, wherein the gap is configured to receive the lip of the object. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the gripping member includes ridges thereon. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8 , further comprising an extended bottom on a front of the box-like housing configured to act in cooperation with the gripping member. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein a rear of the box-like housing has a hole for receiving an additional fastener. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a cap configured to cover the second end of the leg. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11 , further comprising a securing ring on the cap. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the securing ring is configured to secure a zip tie, rope, cable, string, twine, thread, or cord securing the device to a wheelbarrow. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the clamp is adjustable. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 3 , further comprising a fastening mechanism securing the clamping plate along a track. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 3 , further comprising a cap configured to cover the second end of the leg. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the clamping plate is disposed along a track. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 17 , wherein the track allows for the adjustment of the clamping plate. 
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more center holes through the second end. 
     
     
         20 . A device comprising:
 a leg extending between a first end and a second end, and defining a lumen therein;   a connector on the leg configured to attach to a lip of an object; and   a foot member on the leg configured to rest against the object.
