Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus configured to twist a first wire about a second wire is presented herein. The apparatus includes a securing mechanism having clamping jaws and configured to secure connector bodies in which ends of the first wire and the second wire are disposed. The apparatus further includes a gripping mechanism configured to grip central portions of the first and second wires, a rotating mechanism configured to rotate the gripping mechanism, thereby twisting the first and second wires about one another, and a tensioning mechanism configured to apply a lateral offsetting force to the gripping mechanism, thereby deflecting the central portions of the first and second wires orthogonally from the longitudinal axis. A method of twisting a pair of wires is also presented.
