Product Description

Wire Wrap Tool for 30 and 28 Gauge
Strips, wraps, and unwraps 30 and 28 gauge gauge wire. Includes illustrated instructions on the product packaging.
No soldering is involved - great for prototypes!
Easily makes reliable connections on .025" (0.64 mm) square-post terminals.
Built-in wire stripper
To strip insulation, insert the wire approximately 1 inch into the slit. Pull the wire down into the slot, then pull the wire.
Unwrap using the opposite end
To unwrap, place short end of the tool over the terminal and turn the tool counter-clockwise.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2025I love this tool
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2025Seems well-made. I had not done any wire-wrapping in over 40 years. Picked it right up like yesterday. I expect this tool to wrap many many more wires.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2023I have the OK Ind. brand 30 and this tool. Both work great, however for a lot of things using 28-30 gauge wire, I prefer this tool. It is of decent quality. I wirewrap a lot of prototypes instead of using solderless breadboard. When I like the project, I can just use it, or even solder a bit if needed.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2021It is a good tool. Now if I can get used to wire wrapping. The only reason i gave 4 stars is the wire stripper is not good. Would be better to get a stripper for 30 gauge wire.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2020I use this wirewrap tool for building prototype circuit boards. After installing the components, soldering them in place on the topside of the board, I do point to point wiring on the bottom side of the board using #30 solid core tinned wire. The component leads become the wire wrap posts. After wire wrapping I solder the connection. I have found that doing the 90 degree bend on the stripped end of the wire before inserting it in the tool works better for me. The only problem is inserting the tool with wire over the component lead which involves finding the right hole in the tool. It’s too easy to get the component lead and the wire to be wrapped in the same hole. After working a few wraps, ensuring that the above condition does not occur, you get the knack of it. All in all it is a good tool which saves me time and allows a tighter density of components. The tighter density would have been almost impossible with the previous tweezer method.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2022I never knew this tool existed until recently. I love it. You can make a great reliable connection without soldering. This allows me to make a reliable mobile project yet also gives me the ability to reuse the components without having to desolder them. I would definitely recommend. Make sure to get the wire that is made for wire wrapping.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2023It was remarkably easy to learn to use, and it works flawlessly. Now I just need to buy more in different gauge sizes. I so wish I knew these things existed sooner… it would have saved me a butt ton of trouble over the years.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2015Works ok. Not too much to say about such a simple device. 30 gauge works good but grove is too tight to do 28 gauge with. Received device in good time and price was a little lower than other places I found it. Have almost always had good luck with purchases through Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product!
I ordered this product in spite of a couple of below-the-belt reviews. To be honest, one has to learn to use this tool as the skill does not come naturally. I have now tested this product, used it a few times and cannot recommend it more. If there were more than 5 stars, I would have given them.
For those who have had a failed experience, I would suggest the following and see if it improves their experience, I am sure it will.
1. Try spraying WD40 on the tip and wiping it clean before the first use, not only will this clean the surface off any dirt, it will also lubricate
2. Strip only about an inch of wire to get a strong wrap, make sure the stripped end goes through the bottom hole and comes out through the side hole and stays into the grove along the rod
3. Hold the unstripped wire firm with the other hand while twisting the tool, neither pulling nor pushing the tool onto the connector pin - let the tool do its job and it does it fine without a force
4. If you are having to apply force to push the wire in or to twist the tool, you have an oversized gauge of wire
4. Most importantly do not go below the recomended wire guage a thicker wire will need force, create friction, cause breakage and frustration : )
As a guide for those who new to this , wire thickness is inversely proportional to guage number- lower the gauge number, thicker the wire!

No es fácil encontrar este tipo de herramientas de wire-wrapping. Muy practica para ensamblado rápido de prototipos electrónicos.
