I believe the answer is:

interknit

'get in a tangle' is the definition.
(knit or tangle together)

'using tin tinker reworked' is the wordplay.
'using' is an anagram indicator (the letters used in a different way).
'reworked' indicates an anagram.
'tin' with letters rearranged gives 'int'.
'tinker' anagrammed gives 'erknit'.
'int'+'erknit'='INTERKNIT'
