Abstract

A tool for wrapping insulated wire without first stripping or slitting the insulation is obtained by means of a novel bit configuration which crushes the insulation during the wrapping process causing the terminal corners to pierce and contact the wire core. Additional features include means for breaking the wire after wrapping, and means providing a continuous supply of fresh wire.
