Abstract:

A concrete form snap tie tool apparatus has an elongated body having two end portions, one end portion has a handle thereon and the other end portion has two sides, each side having an angled slot therein for engaging a snap tie in the assembly of a concrete form. One side slot is angled for pulling a snap tie while the other side slot is angled for pushing a snap tie for aligning a snap tie with an aperture in a concrete form wall. The concrete form snap tie tool allows the rapid assembly of a concrete form by the quick engagement of a snap tie with the tool and the alignment of a snap tie with an opening in the concrete form wall. An elongated body also has a passageway having a sleeve slidably mounted therein and having a hitting surface on one end thereof. The elongated body is formed with a nail support at one end thereof for supporting a nail. A hammer or the like is used to drive the sleeve against the nail to drive the nail into a surface.
