ABSTRACT:
A tool which can be held and manipulated in one hand, for grasping and pulling steel fish tapes of the type used to pull electrical wires through building walls comprises two identical handle members having flat and parallel front and rear surfaces. Each handle member has a convex inner transverse wall surface, and a notch cut forward from the rear wall surface behind the convex transverse wall surface to a flat longitudinal plane located approximately midway between the front and rear wall surfaces, the notch terminating in an inner transverse wall plane which serves as an anvil plane. Two handle members are pivotably joined by a pivot pin with their bottom longitudinal notch walls in sliding contact, such that a space for receiving a fish tape is provided between each convex inner transverse wall surface of a handle member and the adjacent anvil plane of the other handle member. The convex transverse wall surface is eccentrically located with respect to the pivot pin, such that pivoting the two handle members out of longitudinal alignment decreases the space between anvil plane and transverse wall surface, gripping the fish tape securely between the two surfaces.
