An auxiliary tool for use with a primary tool employed in implanting an electrical lead in body tissue, the primary tool being designed to hold the lead during implantation so as to avoid imparting torque to the lead, such primary tool including a slotted end, a longitudinally extending groove and a longitudinally extending bore which communicates with the groove and the slotted end. The auxiliary tool, which includes a body portion moveable in the bore, a ridge portion moveable in the groove, and a terminal portion moveable in the slotted end, serves to remove the lead from the primary tool after implantation of the electrode.
