In an embodiment of the present invention, there is a fastening tool for applying a driving force to the reinforcement bar fastener to bend the fastener around rebar members to secure the rebar members to each other. The fastening tool can have a body including a driver that provides a downward force on the crossbar portion of the rebar fastener while retractable anvil arms bend the lower vertical leg portions of the rebar fastener upward around the arranged rebar members.
