2. Wire stripper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_stripper

   When engaged, a compound automatic wire stripper first simultaneously grips the wire in one side and in the other side closes its shaped blades cutting the insulation around the conductor. After the sides have completed their strokes the two sides of the mechanism spread apart to push the cut tube of insulation from the end of the conductor.

3. Lineman's pliers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineman's_pliers

   Lineman's pliers (US English), Kleins (genericized trademark, US usage), linesman pliers (Canadian English), side cutting linesman pliers [1] and combination pliers (UK / US English) are a type of pliers used by lineworkers, electricians, and other tradesmen primarily for gripping, twisting, bending and cutting wire, cable, and small metalwork components.

4. Towing sock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towing_sock

   A towing sock or wire rope puller or wire pulling grip is a device that connects to the end of a cable, such as a power cable, in order to pull it through a tube or tunnel. [1] It works by tightening around the cable when pulled, in the same manner as a Chinese finger trap . [ 2 ]

5. Fish tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_tape

   A fish tape (also called a draw wire, draw tape, or an electrician ' s snake) is a tool used by electricians to route new wiring through walls and electrical conduit. [1]Made of a narrow band of spring steel, by careful manipulation, the tape can be guided through confined spaces such as wall cavities or conduits in many countries.

6. Diagonal pliers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagonal_pliers

   The term snips commonly refers to larger items, not to those used for cutting electrical wiring etc. In Canada, Australia and New Zealand too, the items are often referred to as side cutters. Diags, dykes or dikes is jargon used especially in the US electrical industry to describe diagonal pliers. "Dike" can also be used (but only colloquially ...

7. High impedance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_impedance

   The high-impedance state of a given node in a circuit cannot be verified by a voltage measurement alone. A pull-up resistor (or pull-down resistor) can be used as a medium-impedance source to try to pull the wire to a high (or low) voltage level. If the node is not in a high-impedance state, extra current from the resistor will not ...
