ABSTRACT:
A tool for twisting of the bare ends of electrical wires or conductors or connectors while simultaneously restraining rotation of wires at a predetermined distance from their bare ends. The tool reduces repetitive motion of the user when making electrical connections and can also enables the user to make more secure electrical connections. The various embodiments illustrate the invention as a hand tool or in conjunction with a power tool.
