1. A device for pulling a length of wire out of a tube, comprising:

  • i) a reel for receiving the length of wire;

    ii) a frame to which the reel is mounted, the frame including an abutment for the tube;

    iii) a manually operable slider mounted to the frame for reciprocatory translational movement in a pull and return stroke;

    iv) a one-way connection between the slider and the reel, whereby on the pull stroke of the slider, the reel is caused by the pull stroke to rotate about an axis in a direction that winds a portion of the length of wire onto the reel and, on the return stroke, allows the slider to return to the start of the pull stroke without reverse rotation of the reel; and

    v) a detent, that restrains the reel from said reverse rotation during said reverse stroke.
