ABSTRACT:
An elongated socket having an opening for receiving a wire connector to connect at least a pair of wires inserted in the wire connector. The socket is formed in an elongated cylindrical body having a wire connector receiving end. The socket is formed with four bores of different cross sections. These include an outermost bore positioned adjacent the wire connector receiving end of the body. An innermost bore is positioned farthest axially away from the wire connector receiving end of the body. Two intermediate bores are located between the outermost and innermost bores. The bores decrease in cross section from the outermost to the innermost. Each of the bores is defined by an imperforate circumferential wall of the body and has alternately positioned ribs and grooves. The grooves of the outermost bore are dimensioned to receive wings extending from a skirt of a wire connector. One of the intermediate bores has grooves dimensioned to receive wings extending from a truncated conical body of a wire connector. A connector pre-capture detent for a wing style wire connector is formed in the outermost bore and a connector pre-capture detent for a finned connector is formed in the inwardly located intermediate bore. The socket may be formed in a connector driver or in a hand wrench.
