called a pigtail for obvious reasons, it is used to twist preshaped wires around whatever. The wires can be bought in bundles, are about three inches or so long, and have a loop on each end. They work very well, and are faster and easier than rodbuster pliers, although they won't do anything but the premade pieces of wire.

The only re-bar tie tool I used (only once) was one that you hooked in, pull two or three times and on to the next. The one in the picture looks like it would be both much slower and awkward in use.

No, no, no, it's a hemorrhoid remover. You hook, twist and yank it out.
