A hand tool for tieing objects, such as grape vines, having a pair of pivotally connected levers manually movable toward one another and provided with suitable coacting structure thereon for permitting a small flexible member, such as a U-shaped wire staple, to have the free ends thereof twisted together for bundling the objects together. A staple-holding cartridge is mounted on one lever and disposed opposite a rotatable twisting member mounted on the other lever, which twisting member is disposed for engaging the free ends of an ejected staple for twisting the free ends together. An ejecting mechanism is disposed adjacent the cartridge for ejecting a selected staple, and an actuating mechanism coacts with the ejecting mechanism in response to relative pivotal movement of the levers toward one another whereby the selected staple is automatically ejected and the free ends thereof twisted together.
