The tool has a central passageway through which a hanging section of wire tie can pass, a oval, coil forming recess around the passageway to allow for the formation of a wire tie coil around the hanging section, and grooved slots extending from the passageway to the end or edge of the tool, to pull or push a free end of the wire tie around the hanging section.
