Abstract: A wire stringing device which comprises a barrel having a cylindrical bore which is closed at one end and open at the other end, a handle depending from said barrel, a compression spring disposed within the bore in proximity to the closed end, a projectile insertable into the bore whereby when the projectile is within the bore the spring is compressed against the closed end of the bore, the projectile adapted for attaching a flexible line thereto, a trigger adapted for engaging the projectile and maintaining the projectile within the bore and for releasing the projectile in response to finger pressure, whereby the projectile and the flexible wire may be projected from the device, and an adjustable compression member axially movable within the bore adjacent the closed end of the bore for adjusting the compression of the spring. The device may comprise a safety latch for locking the projectile in the barrel.
