Abstract:
1. A wire untwisting tool comprising: a housing extending along a longitudinal axis between a wire gripping end and an actuation end, the housing having a cavity; and a plunger received in the cavity, the plunger being movable between a retracted position and an actuated position, the plunger having a gripping head movable with the plunger between the retracted position and the actuated position, the gripping head being configured to hold the twisted pair of wires in the retracted position such that the wires are pinched between the wire gripping end and the gripping head to restrict relative movement of the wires with respect to the housing; wherein rotation of the housing in an untwisting direction about an axis not coincident with the longitudinal axis untwists the wires.
