Abstract: When insulated electrical wires are to be drawn into electrical junction boxes and beyond through metal electrical conduit boxes, an electrical wire guide, made of plastic, serves to first guide the hook end of a metal fish tape out of a junction box, and then to guide its return carrying with it one or more insulated electrical wires through the electrical metal conduit to the next junction box. The electrical wire guide directs the insulated electrical wire or wires into and out of the electrical junction box without these wires making any direct contact with the junction box.

Abstract: After the removal of a burned out fluorescent lighting tube and its transport to a waste collecting locale, a hand held and hand operated tool is inserted in part over a tube end. Thereafter upon creating a squeezing force, via the lever action of this tool, a sharp pointed cutter is safely driven through the glass of the tube. A small vent hole is created, through which air passes until the outside and inside air pressures are the same. Thereafter, the tube is safely and progressively hit against the rim of a waste container to break the tube into small waste pieces, which drop into this container. In a preferred embodiment, two lever portions of a hand width length, are hinged at their leading ends, which are sized to fit over and partially down the end of the fluorescent lighting tube. A sharp pointed cutter is set back a short distance from the leading edge of one lever portion and positioned within an internally threadable upright embossment.
