A wire tie holder/dispenser in the form of a belt-mounted device suitable for the containment of double loop rebar ties for user convenience. In the preferred mode, the device comprises a generally rectangular support member, which comprises a work belt foldover thereon for attachment to the belt. Left and right L-shaped aluminum or steel members are affixed to the support member via rivets, and extend outwardly therefrom. In this mode, a stiffening material be also be utilized to provide additional structural support. The left and right members are a maximum of 47/8 inches apart from one another in the preferred mode, and are at least 8 inches in height. In an alternate mode of production, the device utilizes a steel rod assembly in lieu of the aforementioned L-shaped members. The steel rod may be ¼ inch in diameter, and also comprises left and right members extending outwardly from the support member, of a size within the range noted above. In either embodiment, the left and right members define vertical slots in which the user may easily load wire ties from the coil supplied by the manufacturer. Through one smooth motion, the user may slide up to 75 ties onto the holder, with the same motion allowing for withdrawal of guide wires from the 75 pieces. The device holds and dispenses ties from 6 to 12 inches in length, allowing the invention to be useful for a variety of tasks. In summation, the present invention functions to eliminate tangling often associated with conventional means of holding and dispensing ties, saving the user significant time during the job in question.
