Abstract: A dispenser for a series of wire markers includes a slot which accepts the point of a stylus inserted through a hole in the wire marker, which slot extends to a predetermined position adjacent a cutting blade. Movement of the stylus along the slot advances the wire marker to the proper position for cutting.

Abstract: A wire-marking clip applicator includes a holder which carries a number of wands, each carrying a unique set of marked C-shaped clips that can be individually dispensed onto a wire from a flared shoe at the end of each wand. Such clip-dispensing wands have been used for the same purpose in the prior art, but the holder makes it possible for the first time to mark a wire with differently numbered clips without picking up, using, and laying down a wand. The holder preferably is formed with a central longitudinal passage into which a wire to be marked can be inserted if one end of the wire is disconnected, thus positioning every flared shoe close to the wire for quickly and easily transfering clips onto the wire.
