Abstract: A multi-purpose hand tool for use with fine gauge insulated wire. The hand tool can be used to cut wire, to cut and strip insulation from wire and to untwist twisted pairs of wire. The insulation cutting and stripping portion of the tool has an alignment guide for the wire which floats relative to the cutting blade for accuracy of alignment of the wire with the insulation stripping aperture. The wire untwisting means includes plastic pads carried by the tool members and movable into closely spaced relationship with each other upon closing of the tool to engage and straighten the wires of a twisted pair of wires pulled between the pads.

Abstract: This is concerned with a conduit fitting for use with so-called flexible metallic conduit which has an inner, helically wound metal core covered by a flexible insulating sheath or coat of rubber or the like. The fitting is specifically constructed and adapted to provide a liquid-tight seal and mechanical connection between the ends of the conduit and the fitting with the mechanical connection and liquid-tight seal being affected by the same structure.
