Conductor cable untwisting tool

摘要

A tool for untwisting the conductors of a twisted conductor cable comprising a rod of electrically insulating material having a tapered end and a channel bored into its tapered end initially along its longitudinal axis. The channel is angled away from the latter axis to emerge at the surface of the rod at the tapered end and is dimensioned to receive the diameter of a conductor which is inserted into the channel at the end of the rod. The tapered end facilitates the initial separation of the conductors and the tool is operated by rotation between thumb and forefinger until the desired length of conductor end segment is reached.
