ABSTRACT An electrical wiring device is provided combining a strip gauge, a loop forming gauge and a wire-restraint which are coordinated to form a loop in a bare end of a solid insul- ated conductor wire at a location where insulation on the wire extends into the wire-restraint when the loop is secured under a terminal binding screw. The stripping gauge comprises a marking molded on the device and indicating the length of insulation to be re- moved from the wire prior to forming the loop in the bare end of the wire. The loop-forming gauge comprises side walls de- fining a cavity in the body of the device and a rounded shoulder formed at an upper end of said cavity. The bare end of the wire is confined within the cavity while the bare end of the wire is bent over the rounded shoulder into the form of the loop in the wire. The wiring device also includes wire-restraints which engage with insulation on the wire when the loop is secured under the binding screw. The method disclosed involves measuring and stripping insulation from the end of an insulated conductor wire. Then bending the stripped bare end of the wire into a loop at a location where insulation on the wire extends into the wire- restraint when the loop is secured under a binding screw carried by a terminal plate.
