Specifications

This listing is for a vintage Bell System tool measuring approximately 8 inches in length. Made of solid steel with a hexagonal shaft, this tool features a split-style tip—one end beveled and grooved, the other flattened.

Likely used by telephone linemen for tasks such as sheath splitting or cable splicing, this is a collectible piece of telecom history. Features: • Authentic Bell System tool • Stamped “BELL SYSTEM” and “WESTERN ELECTRIC” • 8” total length • Hexagonal steel shaft • Split tip and chisel end • Surface rust and wear from use
