The end of the wire is right at hand either in a close pin hole or in the next agraffe. After you coil and drive the pin the action of bending around the hitch pin and up to the next automatically pulls just the right amount of wire. I use fruitcake cans with a hole cut in the center of the lid to pull the wire through, that way its just a simple matter of pulling the wire out to length and tucking it back in when finished.
