A concrete taper tie is provided for holding concrete wall forms in positi on while a concrete wall is being poured. The concrete taper tie includes an intermediate tapered bar and first and second threaded end bars extending from opposing ends of the intermediate tapered bar. Each threaded end bar includes a pair of parallel flat surfaces formed substantially along the entire length of the threads for permitting a gripping tool or the like to grasp the concrete taper tie to facilitate removal from a finished concrete wall. The threaded end bars are mechanically attached via welding or the like, and may be removed and replaced when a portion becomes damaged.
