A tool used when wire wrapping prototype circuit boards. I shall
attempt to describe it. - Start with a hexagonal shaft that is
the handle. Mine is painted with a blue finish. - Drill a hole
through the center of the shaft (not axially, but from one side
of the shaft to the other). Put a small wire stripper one side
of this hole. This part is for (duh) stripping wires. - Into one
end of the shaft, Insert a small rod with a hole in the middle.
This rod should have a concavity at the end as well. This is the
unwrapping part of the wire wrap tool, for when you make
mistakes and need to unwrap your wire. - Into the other end of
the shaft, insert the more interesting rod. I shall attempt to
describe it. - Start with a normal rod. - Bore a small hole down
the axis. - Cut a trench on one side of the rod. - For the last
3 millimeters of the rod, shave off about 40 percent of the
trench side of the rod. - Put a four millimeter long cuff around
the last two millimeters of the rod, so that it hangs off the
end about 2 m
