ABSTRACT:
In the hanging of suspended ceilings, a device is provided for enabling wire to be threaded up and over the suspended ceiling support joist and then twisted about itself to a desired length for supporting other portions of the suspended ceiling. The device enables fabrication of suspended ceilings without the need for ladders or scaffolding and allows the workers to accomplish the hanging of the supports from the floor. The device includes a blade portion and a hollow handle portion with an aperture therein. The wire is forced up through the handle via the aperture. The blade portion captures the free end of the wire and, by twisting the handle, forces the free end of the wire about the other portion of the wire, tightening the wire to a desired length. Numerous extension units are provided for the handle so that varying height ceilings can be constructed.
