Abstract
A manually-operated baling wire twisting and tying tool, and a method of twisting and together the wires together, comprises a first handle having a first wire-twisting implement mounted therein, and a second handle having a second wire-twisting implement mounted therein. An axially oriented slot is effectively defined within the tool throughout substantially the entire axial extent thereof for accommodating the wires, and when the first and second handles, having the first and second wire-twisting implements disposed therein, are rotated with respect to each other, the wires are twisted and tied together. A visually indicating mechanism is also provided upon the tool for indicating to the operator when a predetermined number of twists have been imparted to the wires.
