An apparatus and a method for readily untwisting the ends of a plurality of twisted wire conductors that are to be stripped and connected to the terminals of an electrical or electronic apparatus. The apparatus comprises a shank having an end, and an elongated-shaped slot located in an end of the shank. The elongated-shaped slot extends into the shank a predetermined distance, and the slot has an opening adapted to receive the twisted wire conductors. The elongated-shaped slot has two spaced-apart and substantially parallel walls that engage and grip the twisted wire conductors when the wires are inserted into the elongated-shaped slot and the shank is rotated in a direction opposite the direction of twist of the wire conductors. After inserting the ends of a plurality of twisted wire conductors into the elongated-shaped slot of the shank, the shank is rotated in the direction opposite the direction of twist of the wire conductors. The separated conductor wires are then removed from the elongated-shaped slot, the wire ends are further separated and striped of insulation, and the wires are then connected to the terminals of an electrical or electronic apparatus. |
