Two embodiments of devices are disclosed for forming eyelets and/or twists in wire. Both embodiments are self-contained tools and include relatively rotatable outer sleeves and inner cores for completely encapsulating and holding lengths of wire. In one embodiment, the wire can be formed with a closed loop and tight wraps about the length of wire inwardly of the closed loop while the length of wire is held by the device and the closed loop is rotated relative thereto. In the other embodiment, the wire can be formed with a closed loop, followed by helical twists, and then tightly wrapped inwardly of the helical twists as the closed loop is continuously rotated relative to the device while the length of wire is encapsulated and held thereby.

A device for forming an eyelet in wire, comprising: a body; first means on said body for forming a loop in a length of wire and twisting the wire helically away from the loop in response to relative rotation between the loop and the body; and second means on said body for tightly wrapping a free end portion of the wire about a straight portion of the wire inwardly of the innermost twist to completely form said eyelet.
