Wire pulling assist device

摘要

A wire pulling assist device has a tong shaped member having two arms biasedly connected at one of the two ends of each arm. A leaf spring at the connected ends of the arms maintains the device in a biasedly open position when the tool is not being used. Wire supports, consisting of curved elements, extend from near the second end of the arms. Applying a squeezing pressure on the arm members compels them and the wire supports towards each other, permitting the wire supports to be inserted into a hole in a metal stud. Metal clad wire can then be threaded through the wire supports and run smoothly and efficiently through the metal stud without impediment.
