<p>A wire tying tool having a set of movable talons (400, 401) for channeling a loop of hard wire fed from a spool (600) around an object to be tied with a wire knot at high speed; a wire drive (364) with a pullback feature to retract the loop under tension to tighten the loop around the object; a clutch-controlled retractable reel to hold the tension on the wire on the reel; a spinner/cutter that extrudes a knot by turning, kinking and cutting the wire, and then rotating to twist the wire into a knot while drawing the spinner away from the work surface. A single reversible motor (300) powers each of a wire drive, a talon drive and a spinner drive; and logic and control elements control a sequence of operations of the various drives. The tool is housed in an exterior housing (612) having a trigger handle (602) and a support handle (604).</p> |
