A device for pulling a hose and nozzle assembly comprises a laterally-extending grip manually engageable by one or both hands to grip the device and pull a hose and nozzle assembly attached thereto. A lock is spaced below the grip and is releasably engageable with the hose and nozzle assembly. The lock or hose and nozzle assembly is movable relative to the other between (i) a locked position, wherein the hose and nozzle assembly is secured by the lock to the device and the hose and nozzle assembly is supported therefrom, and (ii) an unlocked position, wherein the hose and nozzle assembly is released from the lock and detached from the device. In the locked position, the laterally-extending grip is manually engageable to pull the device, including in a position behind the back, and thereby pull the hose and nozzle assembly secured thereto.
