ABSTRACT:
A tool having a pivoted handle which intermittently retracts a sleeve to close jaws within the sleeve into wire engagement for wire retraction. The wire so tensioned is incrementally advanced axially into a wire retainer assembly and past retainer jaws which admit the wire and hold same against high tension loads. A manual control permits disengagement of the tool retainer jaws from the wire, after wire securement to a support, to enable axial disengagement of the tool from a length of tensioned wire. Methods are disclosed for tensioning and joining two lengths of wire using the present tool. Wire coiling tools are disclosed facilitating the practice of the methods.
