The present invention was contrived through attention being focused on the following in a prior-art distributed-winding coil: a "solenoid" configuration in which winding wires are to be wound is preserved when initially formed, but this configuration tends to be loosened during subsequent steps, and the initial winding sequence of the winding wires, or the position of the winding wires relative to each other, tends to be disrupted, and accordingly must be prevented, when a certain force is applied and the necessary bending or deformation is induced in coils with distributed winding in which the solenoid configuration is preserved, or when the coils are ultimately inserted into slots. Therefore, as a solution, the present invention provides a holding tool 30 provided with: at least two substrates 32 linked at one end so as to be able to open and close; an outlet 31 formed at the other end of the substrates 32; and a holding space 32a capable of opening on the outlet 31 side, and holding the first accommodation
