  • Patent number: 7104287
    Abstract: Wire-untwisting tools and tool bits are disclosed. The wire-untwisting tool comprises a tool body, a movable member, and a spring. The tool body has a first channel extending inwardly from a first surface and a second channel extending inwardly from a second surface. The movable member includes a third channel, and is positioned within the second channel to move therein between an open position, in which the first and third channels are substantially aligned and contiguous, and a gripping position, in which they are not. The spring bears between the tool body and the movable member so and biases the movable member toward the gripping position. A pair of twisted wires inserted into the aligned channels of the tool body and the movable member when the movable member is pushed into the open position will be gripped for untwisting when the movable member moves back to the gripping position.
