Electrician's tool

1. A combination electrician's tool, comprising:

a first plier including a first handle and a first jaw opposite the first handle,

a second plier including a second handle and a second jaw opposite the second handle, a first cutting edge disposed on an upper surface of the second plier, said first cutting edge in cooperation with the first plier for cutting,

a pivot pin for rotatably joining said first plier and second plier,

wherein the second jaw further defines a first portion of a hammer surface and the first jaw defines a second portion of a hammer surface such that a planar hammer surface is formed when the first and second jaws are in a closed position,

wherein the first and second jaws further define a plurality of cooperating grooves, each said cooperating grooves including a second cutting edge disposed on an inner edge of said cooperating groove to strip insulation from wire.

2. The tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein said first and second pliers are bent adjacent said pivot such that said hammer surface is perpendicularly spaced from said first and second handles.

3. The tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one of said cooperating grooves is sized to strip insulation from a cable containing several conductor wires and at least a second of said cooperating grooves is sized to strip at least one of said several conductor wires.

4. The tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein first and second jaws define a gripping surface.

5. The tool as recited in claim 1 , wherein said first and second handles lie adjacent to each other in a closed position of said tool such that both said first and said second handles can be gripped when said tool is used as a hammer.

6. A combination electrician's tool comprising:

a first plier including a first handle and a first jaw, a second plier including a second handle and a second jaw,

a pivot pin for rotatably joining said first plier and second plier,

a hammer means disposed on each of the first and second jaws for driving an object,

cutting means disposed on an upper surface of said second plier for cutting,

stripper means disposed on a lower edge of said first and second jaws for stripping wire, and

gripping means disposed on said lower edge of said first and second jaws for gripping, wherein said hammer means includes a planar hammer surface formed by said first and second jaws in a closed position of said tool.

7. The tool as recited in claim 6 , wherein said first and second handles are held together in the closed position of said tool.

8. The tool as recited in claim 6 , wherein a cable stripper and a wire stripper are formed in said planar hammer surface in the closed position of said tool.

9. The tool as recited in claim 6 , wherein said cutting means includes a cutting surface and wherein said first handle holds a wire or cable as it is cut by said cutting surface.

10. The tool as recited in claim 6 , wherein said gripping means includes a surface on each of said first and said second jaws that come together in said closed position of said tool.

11. A tool for use in wiring, said tool comprising:

a first plier and a second plier pivotably connected together,

a first jaw formed on said first plier,

a second jaw formed on said second plier,

said tool having a closed position wherein a portion of said jaws are brought together and an open position wherein said portion of said jaws are spaced apart,

each of said first and second jaws including a portion of a hammer surface,

each of said jaws including a portion of a wire stripper,

each of said jaws including a portion of a cable stripper, and

each of said jaws including a portion of a grip such that the hammer surface, the wire stripper, the cable stripper and the grip are formed in the closed position of the tool.

12. The tool as recited in claim 11 , wherein said first plier includes a first handle and said second plier includes a second handle.

13. The tool as recited in claim 12 , wherein said second plier includes a cutting surface.

14. The tool as recited in claim 13 , wherein said first and second pliers are bent adjacent to a pivot pin connecting the first and second pliers.

15. The tool as recited in claim 14 , wherein said hammer surface is knurled.

16. The tool as recited in claim 15 , wherein said first and second handles are brought together in contact in said closed position of said tool.
