Abstract: An article bender apparatus that assists in joining two separate malleable article line free ends in a selected helical wrap, the article bender apparatus including a disc that has a slot disposed therethrough that originates from the center at a root extending radially outward, a shoe having a selectable pivotal lock to a face of the disc, wherein the shoe is in an open state when the slot is open and the shoe is in a closed locked state when the shoe partially covers the slot leaving the slot root section open. Also, a means for rotating the disc about the root, operationally the disc is inserted onto a first line free end portion to the root, the shoe is placed in the closed locked state, with the shoe intersecting a second line free end portion, next rotating the disc to helically wrap the second line about the first line.
