ABSTRACT:
A hand-held wire twister including an upper portion having a handle engageable by an operator for imparting a twisting action to the wire twister. A lower portion has a wire strand engaging head that is coupled to the handle by an extension shaft. The wire strand engaging head flares outward from the extension shaft so that a perimeter of the head is greater that a perimeter of the shaft so that the head establishes a wire engaging portion of the wire twister. The wire engaging portion has at least two wire receiving channels cut thereinto for engaging at least two wire strands to be connectively intertwined by rotational motion of the wire twister; each channel engaging one or more wires. Each of the channels extends from an opening at the perimeter of the head toward a center of the head.
