The clip includes a non-movable portion including a wire receiving surface and a movable portion disposed at least partially externally of the non-movable portion. The movable portion includes a wire engaging surface disposed opposite and facing the wire receiving surface, with the surfaces defining wire receiving jaws operable between a closed jaw condition and an open jaw condition. A biasing element is coupled to the portions biasing the surfaces to the closed jaw condition. The movable portion is reciprocally movable from the closed jaw condition to the open jaw condition against the urging of the biasing element.
