ABSTRACT:
A tie wrench for bending mounting clips to secure a fence wire to a fence post is disclosed. The tie wrench utilizes a hook that is positioned beneath the fence wire but above an outer portion of the mounting clip. The tie wrench is pulled toward the user to twist and secure the outer portion of the clip and the fence wire to the fence post. The other side of the clip is engaged and deformed in a similar manner by a flared and scalloped finger that protrudes from the blade body of the tool. The large bend in the blade coupled with the small recess adjacent the exterior corner of the device seats the fence wire and produces a fencing tool that is easier and quicker to use compared to prior art devices.
