L.T. Marine Handheld Haywire Twist Tool

The #3 haywire twist tool is the quintessential tool for shark fisherman and offshore sport fisherman who needed to make precise and clean haywire twists in 12-19 gauge single strand wire. In 2012 Laurel Tool & Engineering Co., Inc. (L.T. Marine) started experimenting with the original design and set out to make innovative improvements to make the tool more efficient to use and practical for use in a marine environment. Specs: Manufactured from Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel.  Every component in this tool is made of Stainless Steel. The original tools were made from nickel/chrome plated brass. Often the plating would flake off and sometimes impede the tool. Diamond Knurled Handle for increased grip. The original tools had a smooth hexagonal shape which made griping with wet or slime cover hands challenging. Will make Haywire Twists on Single Strand Wire from #12 to #19 Gauge (360 lb/test) with little effort . This tool will not deform from repeated use on heavy gauge wire.
