Abstract: A tool for wrapping wire on a terminal post which includes a rod-like member having an axial end face with a terminal pin receiving bore therein. A configuration on the axial end face is provided to cause wire to wrap around the terminal when the rod is rotated. A slot open to the periphery of the rod is provided communicating with the axial end face, the slot lying on an angle to the axis. The slot extends partway through the rod forming a periphery which is axially spaced from the end face and which is axially arcuate on a radius having a center point at or spaced outward from the axial end face. The slot is adapted to receive the wire. The rod is axially movable with respect to a cut-off formed as an axial open end of a tubular member receiving the rod.
