Abstract
A wire frame aid is received over the cable and the connector part that carries the coupling housing. At one end of the frame coded keys interlockingly engage keys and keyways on the outer surface of the coupling housing. The aid is gripped by one or both hands when it is desired to rotate the housing providing greater purchase of the hand and additional leverage for opening or closing the connector, as the case may be. An elongated slot-like opening enables the aid to be slipped on and off the cable and connector, as desired. In a second version, an elongated hollow metal body having a bore sufficient to permit receipt onto the cable has an enlarged threaded end which is received onto a similarly threaded portion of the coupling housing. The end portion of the metal body opposite the threaded end is provided with transversely extending parts which can be gripped with the hand or fingers, or with a suitable tool during use.
