Claim Text:
1. An epidermal friendly method of securing a twist-on wire connector comprising: inserting a set of electrical wires in an open end of a twist-on wire connector; holding the set of electrical wires; grasping a resilient cover having a set of resilient ribs and extending over an entire exterior surface of the twist-on wire connector between an epidermal layer of a user's finger and an epidermal layer of a user's thumb; squeezing the resilient cover to compress a portion of the set of resilient ribs until the epidermal layer of the user's finger and the epidermal layer of the user's thumb are in engagement with both a valley and a top surface of the set of resilient ribs without inducing epidermal trauma; and applying a wire securement torque by rotating the resilient cover and the twist-on wire connector between the user's thumb and the user's finger while maintaining the epidermal layer of the user's thumb and the epidermal layer of the user's finger in rotational pressure contact therewith to thereby secure an electrical connection between the set of electrical wires in the twist-on wire connector.
