ABSTRACT:
A hand tool firmly grips an electrician's fish tape and allows an electrician to use both hands to pull the tape in an ergonomically correct manner. The fish tape is gripped between opposing jaws attached to the inner ends of pivotably connected handles. The handles are substantially parallel to one another when the fish tape is gripped between the jaws, thus allowing the electrician to pull equally on the two handles in a balanced manner when pulling wire. At the conclusion of a pulling stroke, the handles are pivoted to an open position to release the grip on the fish tape. A closed channel, formed when the handles are pivoted to the open position, maintains the fish tape in contact with the hand tool as the handles are pushed forward along the fish tape in preparation for the next pulling stroke. Upon reaching the starting point of the next pulling stroke, the handles are pivoted from the open position to the substantially parallel position to again grip the fish tape.
