The end of a snappable concrete form tie rod extends through an opening in a concrete form panel. The tie rod has a weakened portion at which its end may be snapped off after the concrete has hardened. The end of the tie rod is flattened adjacent to the head thereof, one end of the flattened portion forming a shoulder which engages a bracket for holding the tie rod in position. The flattened portion may be engaged by a wrench for applying torque to the end of the tie rod to snap it off. A cone member is positioned on the tie rod between the weakened portion and the head. The cone member has a central opening extending lengthwise therethrough which is somewhat larger in diameter than the tie rod for slideably receiving the same. The tie rod has an outwardly bowed portion between the weakened portion thereof and the head to bind the cone member in a predetermined position on the tie rod.
