Tie wrench for bending fence mounting clips around fencing wire to secure fencing wire to a fence post

A fencing tool for securing a fence wire to a fence post with a mounting clip, the mounting clip having a central portion that terminates in a pair of loops on opposite sides of the central portion, the fencing tool comprising:

• a handle having an axis;
• a body extending in a generally axial direction from the handle, the body having a body proximal end located adjacent to the handle and a body distal end located opposite the body proximal end;
• an intermediate portion extending from the body distal end at an intermediate angle with respect to the axis, the intermediate portion having an intermediate proximal end that forms a first intersection with the body distal end, and an intermediate distal end located opposite the intermediate proximal end;
• a terminal portion extending from the intermediate distal end at a terminal angle, such that the terminal portion is oriented in a different configuration than the intermediate portion with respect to the body, the terminal portion having a terminal proximal end that forms a second intersection with the intermediate distal end and a terminal distal end that is opposite the terminal proximal end;
• only one finger extending from the body at a perpendicular angle relative and being rectangular in shape, such that the body, the intermediate portion, and the terminal portion are co-planar and define a continuous flat blade, and the finger is out of plane with respect to the continuous flat blade;
• a scallop formed in said only one finger for seating and positively retaining a mounting clip during assembly, the scallop being semi-circular and having a diameter of approximately 1/16-inch;
• a first pocket is formed between the intermediate and terminal portions for seating the fence wire;
• and
• a second pocket for seating the fence wire is formed on one of the body and a latching finger protruding from the body.
