A wire clamping and retaining device comprises first and second integrally interconnected leg members which are separated by a predetermined separation distance while in a normal position. A biasing force is established, preferably by the inherent properties of a rigid material capable of resilient deformation, so as to bias the leg members into the normal position. A cavity is defined in the device and intermediate the cavity and the terminal ends thereof, an inclined surface is provided so that when the device is laterally moved relative to a wire, outward displacement of the leg members will be effected so as to gain access to the cavity. Once the wire is accepted in the cavity, the biasing force will once again return the leg members to their normal position and thus frictionally engaged the wire contained in the cavity to prevent axial slippage relative thereto. Thereafter, a nail or other suitable means is utilized to secure the device to a substrate.
