Abstract: A tool for bending false ceiling hanger wires which determines the appropriate bend location, and for bending hanger wires to attach to the ceiling frame or supporting anchors or to embed in concrete, and for tying hanger wires to the ceiling frame or supporting anchors or to embed in concrete, and for cutting ceiling components and wires. The tool includes a pair of coordinating handles connected at a handle pivot which includes a gripping surface. A pair of cutting blades are connected to the distal end of the handles. The blades are mutually connected at the blade pivot, which includes a bending surface. Converging movement of the handles causes converging movement of the bending surface and gripping surface and converging movement of the blades. The gripping surface clamps the wire onto the bending surface while the wire is bent or tied. The blades cut ceiling components and hanger wires.

Abstract: A wire bending ceiling tool for cutting, bending and tying metal hanger wires such as those used for hanging false ceilings in buildings. The tool includes a pair of handles connected to a jaw having gripping members for holding a wire to be bent. One gripping member is a block to bend the wire around. The other gripping member is a surface to which a third handle is pivotally mounted. The third handle has a wire guide which guides the wire around three corners of the bending block to bend the wire into two right angles and a 45 degree angle when the third handle is pivoted creating a saddle to carry the channel beams, and which guides the wire around a corner of the bending block to bend the wire into one 90 degree angle when the third handle is pivoted creating a hook to attach to a main runner, an anchor or embed in concrete. The third handle detaches converting into a tying handle for tying a wire. The tying handle includes a wire guide operating in coordination with a hole for tying a hanger wire.
