Abstract
A cable-bending tool is provided which comprises a first rod, or torsion arm, having cable-engaging means at one end and means for attaching a second rod, or lever arm, at the opposite end. In use, the cable-engaging means is positioned on the cable at the location of the desired bend, the lever arm is attached to the second end of the torsion arm, and the lever arm is rotated to apply force to the cable via the torsion arm. The invention enables the bending of cables within breaker boxes or other restricted areas with a simple, hand-held tool.
