An apparatus for securing or tying twines or strings made of natural or synthetic fibers into tightly wrapped, closed loops around bales, boxes or other objects includes a twisting mechanism having a rotary spindle carrying a twine gripping unit adapted for receiving and gripping opposite end portions of a length of twine that has been loosely looped about a bale formed in the bale case of a baler, the twisting mechanism being operable for twisting the end portions of the twine together under tension so as to tighten the loop about the bale and to cause to end portions to be formed into a final configuration where a double strand exists which is twisted upon one of the opposite end portions and is coiled whereby a self-locking connection between the opposite end portions is effected.
