Abstract
A wire bending apparatus and a method for bending a wire and creating a loop in the wire is provided. The wire bending apparatus includes an anvil block that is connectable to a wire bending portion and connectable to a loop bending portion, such that the wire bending portion and the loop bending portion are rotatable. The anvil block includes a gap for holding a wire and the wire bending portion includes a groove for positioning the wire to be parallel to the direction of the wire when the wire bending portion is connected to the anvil block and rotated to form the bend in the wire. The loop bending portion includes a channel for engaging the wire when the loop bending portion is connected to the anvil block and rotated to form a loop in the wire.
