Abstract
A wire splicing tool. The tool comprises an elongated, rigid frame, including a pair of outwardly diverging handle ends. A rigid, integral, tubular frame center receives the shank of a rotatable member for controlling wire splicing. The control member includes an external, wire contacting head which forcibly coils wire ends in response to tool rotation. The control shank includes an elongated, wire receptive groove. When the groove is aligned with a slot defined in frame center, capture (or release) of a first wire segment is facilitated. With the first wire captured, the tool may be rotated to coil an end of a second wire about the first.
