I've only recently discovered this weekly series (edited by Peter Gordon) that consists of hard, but enjoyable, themeless puzzles.

In No. 8, some of my favorite entries are:

Place to raise dogs?     HASSOCK
Fifth element     ETHANOL
Job holder    BIBLE

However, I am totally mystified by the following:
One may have a grip on it      SET

I hope one of you can help me out with this.
Thanks.

It probably refers to a stage set which has people who move lighting and who are called grips.
