A method and apparatus for bending a straight wire to form a hook, in which the wire is bent by moving an arbor into lateral contact with the wire, moving at least one bending head laterally to bend the wire about the arbor, and withdrawing the arbor and the bending head from the vicinity of the hook. The wire is preferably held against a further arbor, cut to a predetermined length, and bent about the further arbor into a predetermined axis relative to the bending apparatus. A cutter for use with the bending apparatus employs a pair of jaws pivotably closable and then releasable whereby the jaws move longitudinally away from the severed wire.
