Abstract
A tool for opening a sealed telephone cable splice box. The tool has a fulcrum adapted to bear against various points on the ends of the splice box. The tool also has a lever adapted to cooperate with the fulcrum and a sliding member that slides longitudinally along the lever and is adapted to bear against the box top. The top of the box is separated from the bottom and ends of the splice box by transferring force between sliding member and the fulcrum through the lever.
