Abstract: A combination tool comprises first and second handles movably pivoted together at a pivot axis, with respective first and second shanks extending from the pivot axis and joined to the corresponding handle. A tool member is joined substantially normal to each shank, and substantially parallel with the pivot axis, each tool member having a flat end surface substantially parallel with the corresponding shank. The upper surface of the tool members have opposing indentations therein, serving as a recess for receiving wire for stripping purposes. When the opposing surfaces of the tool members abut one another, the end surfaces of the tool member define a flat hammer face.
