Abstract
A method of preventing loosening of a wire wound around a reel for fastening reinforcing bars. The method comprises pressurizing an outer circumferential surface of the wire inwardly in the radius directions of the reel so that elastic forces in the directions which the outer diameter of the wire is increased are deprived therefrom, and the condition of wound wire is maintained after the pressure is released.
