ABSTRACT:
The adapter for use on a compression tool to create a live wire detecting and grounding device comprises a spike engaged to a hydraulically actuated plunger of the tool, the plunger being movable with a jaw defined by a C shaped body of the tool. The spike is conductive, is engaged to a grounding assembly and is used to engage a core of an electrical cable snared within the jaw, causing shorting of a controller for the cable, making the cable currentless. For use with cables of smaller diameter, a reducing sleeve is provided for holding such cables for spike piercing thereof.
