Abstract
A snap tie breaker tool includes a handle connected to a body shaft with a locking brace and two receiving tubes attached to the body shaft. The snap tie breaker tool operates by sliding a concrete snap tie through both receiving tubes. The portion of the concrete snap tie that passes through both receiving tubes is then bent to a position perpendicular to its original position. Next, the handle is rotated so that the bent portion of the concrete snap tie contacts the body shaft. Once contact is made, an increased amount of force is applied to continue rotating the handle and the concrete snap tie. Eventually, the concrete snap tie will break and can be removed from the concrete wall. The process of breaking the concrete snap tie with the snap tie breaker tool is substantially less time consuming and takes less work than conventional methods.
