A tool and method for forming wire eyes in stiff wire are provided. The tool has a handle and a shank, or shaft, having a hollow or tubular opening at the end extending into the shank a selected distance corresponding to the length of the wire needed to form an initial bend in the wire. The end of the wire is inserted into the tubular opening and generally formed into a circular eye in two separate bending steps. A side opening or eye is provided in the shank adjacent the end to form a final bend in the wire to the wire eye which may be forcefully closed by pliers or the like.
