ABSTRACT:
The disclosed tool has a head forming a sleeve, a wall extended upwardly beyond the sleeve along one side thereof, and a finger projected off the wall laterally of the sleeve. A slot is extended downwardly from the upper edge of the wall, generally overlying and open to the sleeve. The sleeve interior is sized to receive simultaneously the tension sections of a number of hanger wires; while the slot is sized widthwise to receive the bend section of only one hanger wire. However, the slot lengthwise is several times the slot width, which serves to keep the wire from wobbling when carried in the slot, with its wrap section then projected away from the tool and finger, to allow it to be hooked over an overlying support structure. The sleeve has a sloped upper edge, spaced below the upper wall slot, and sloping downwardly away from the wall, which serves to bunch together the many hanger wires carried in the sleeve, and provide that their wrap sections generally project away from the wrap section of the one hanger wire carries in the slot. The sloped sleeve edge may line up with a lower finger edge, and an extendable tubular pole may be secured to the sleeve, allowing operation of the tool from a remote location.
