Abstract: This invention consists of a strip lug and nut remover consisting of a metallic semi-circular housing having a circular top and a semi-circular bore. The wall of the bore is provided with three sets of teeth spaced apart from each other and running lengthwise and/or longitudinally of the bore. A hexagon nut is positioned on the top of the strip lug and nut remover. The hexagon nut receives the open head of a hexagon shaped wrench. A plurality of spaced holes are provided in the top of the housing, and a smaller rotatable pin attached to a larger diameter eccentrically mounted pin is positioned in the bore with the small pin passing through one of the two openings of the top of the housing smaller pin is held in position by a snap ring. When it is desired to use the strip lug and nut remover, it is positioned over a damaged nut to be removed and the eccentrically mounted pin is positioned adjacent thereto.

Abstract: Wire stripping apparatus for automatically stripping insulation off a wire core, comprises:(a) a guide forming at least one opening to receive an insulated wire end,(b) at least one wire end sensor for sensing a wire end inserted through that opening, or a selected opening of a group,(c) wire end clamping structure operable in response to said sensing to clamp the insulated wire inserted through said opening,(d) cutter structure operable in response to said sensing to sever a predetermined length of insulation on the insulated wire end inserted through the opening,(e) and carriage structure carrying the sensor and the cutter structure to retract same relatively away from said clamp structure after it has clamped the wire end and after the cutter structure has severed the insulation, thereby to pull a selected length of insulation off the wire core.
