MANUALLY OPERATED WIRE TWISTING AND TYING TOOL AND METHOD OFTWISTING AND TYING THE WIRES TOGETHER

摘要

A manually-operated baling wire twisting and tying tool, and a method of twisting and tying the wires together, comprises a fist handle having a first wire- twisting implement mounted therein, and a second handle having a second wire-twisting implement mounted herein. An axially oriented slot is effectively defined within the tool throughout substantially the entire axial extent thereof for accommodating t he wires, and when the first and second handles, having the first and second wire-twisting implements disposed therein, are rotated with respect to each other, the wires are twisted and tied together. A visually indicating mechanism is also provided upon the tool for indicating to the operator when a predetermined number of twists have been imparted to the wires.
