Found this at the plant and none of our guys in maintenance know what it is. I think it is something that is used to spin wires on a terminal for a phone or security system......only because I have seen those type of connections at the local phone company and wondered how it was done.

It looks similar to a tool used to install suspended ceiling wires. |

Yeah,I looked up wire wrap bits and nothing close. It has defiantly been chucked up in a drill and the threads on it (if you can call them that) are left hand thread. It is marked: UK 1/4(6.4mm) pat pending Damnedest thing.............. |

With it's left hand threads,I'm wondering if it is just the drive spud out of a broken tool. |

I think it looks like a wire wrap tool too. I've never seen one that big and you would never use one in a drill. I was a field installer in Verizon central offices and they don't want you to use a powered wire wrap tool, only the pencil type. Blue orange green brown slate, I've punched down millions of twisted pairs.... |

Those aren't threads, those are where the wire is supposed to sit as you're wrapping the post. |
