Abstract
A tool capable of wrapping and unwrapping wires on terminals is provided with a quick-release mechanism to allow rapid and simple replacements of bits and sleeves used for the wrapping and unwrapping functions. This feature uses a bit driver comprising a camming surface that cooperates with a collet having a tapered split end for holding the bit and sleeve loosely or a gripping relationship for driving the bit. A novel bit/sleeve combination is capable of wrapping wires on terminals when rotated in one direction and unwrapping wires from terminals when rotated in the opposite direction. The tool also features a motor reversing switch for allowing the tool to be used both for wrapping and for unwrapping wires, with the reversing switch located in a protected region at the rear of the tool to prevent accidental activation. The same tool housing can also be used for fabricating both battery operated as well as AC operated tools.
