A twist tie tool has a hooked end that catches the loop of a preformed fence wire tie. You rotate the tool to spin the tie around the fence wire and framework, twisting it tight. The hook releases when you pull back, ready for the next tie.

Our twist tie tool is compatible with either 9-gauge or 11-gauge preformed chain link fence tie wires, the two most common gauges used in residential and commercial chain link fence installation.

An experienced installer can place 300 to 400 wire ties per hour using a twist tie tool, compared to 100 to 150 by hand. On a 100-foot fence section requiring 200 ties, that is a significant time savings.

Yes. A twist tie tool is a durable hand tool designed for repeated use across multiple fence installation projects. Keep it in your tool bag and it will be ready for each project.

The tool is specifically sized for either 9-gauge or 11-gauge preformed fence tie wire. Using it with significantly thicker or thinner wire may result in slipping or difficulty completing the twist.

Yes. The tool works with standard chain link fence mesh attached to top rail, line posts, and terminal posts using preformed wire ties, regardless of the chain link mesh gauge or opening size.

Hook the preformed tie through the mesh wire and around the fence framework with one hand, then engage the tie with the twist tool and rotate to tighten. One person can typically work the tool alone without a second person holding the mesh.

A quality twist tie tool lasts for many fence installations with proper care. Avoid using it as a pry bar or for purposes it was not designed for. Clean and oil the pivot point occasionally to maintain smooth rotation.

Hook the tool into the loop of the preformed wire tie, pull the tie snug against the mesh and framework, then rotate the tool 2 to 3 full turns to twist the tie tight. Pull back to release and move to the next tie position.

Minimal maintenance is needed. Wipe the tool clean after each use to remove dirt and galvanized wire residue. A drop of oil on the rotating hook pivot will maintain smooth operation and extend the tool lifespan.
