ABSTRACT:
A wire twisting device and method to join the bare end portions of a plurality of insulated electrical wires together in a radially and longitudinally uniform spiral configuration to receive a hollow wire connector or nut on the outer end portions thereon, the wire twisting device comprises an insulated handle and wire twisting member wherein the wire twisting member includes a centrally disposed cavity formed therein having a plurality of protrusions extending inwardly toward the center thereof to cooperatively form a corresponding plurality of wire receiving channels between adjacent protrusions such that the bare end portions to be joined are placed in a corresponding channel whereby as the wire twisting device is rotated relative to the plurality of electrical wires the wire twisting device moves longitudinally relative to the insulated electrical wires to twist the bare end portions together to form the uniform spiral configuration prior to application of the hollow wire connector or nut thereon.
