Abstract: A tool designed for aligning and positioning snap-ties used in assembling the structural concrete shaping forms. The tool comprises a shaft member fixedly attached to a slotted engaging member for engaging the snap-ties. The slotted engaging member typically has a tapered slot so that the user may easily encompass the snap-tie and position it in a single step without the need to temporarily lock the snap-tie to the tool during positioning. The tool also allows the user to position snap-ties remotely without the need for the user's body to enter a concrete form apparatus, thereby decreasing the chance of injury.
