LOL!When you've got wire wrap headers for the tentacle interconnect . . . what else you gonna do?
Old guys rule!
I treasure my wire wrap tool, as I'm not sure I could find a replacement...
AFAIK, wire wrap was used and may still be used in the Aviation Industry, it's far more robust and reliable than soldered PCBs.
Wire Wrap Is alive And Well!
Wire wrapping is an assembly technique long overlooked by the home hobbyist.

Wire wrap may be alive an well, but my favored tool came from Radio Shack, and they're long gone -- I think. Haven't checked for a lingering on-line presence in a while.
My CrapShack tool is the silver one in that link with the stripper stored in the handle. Pretty sure it's somewhere around here, but I much prefer the one piece stripper/wrap/unwrap tool.
edit: probably can't get to the soldering until MON/TUE off. Inward riser arrived, the three cards will be vertically oriented. No good for a drawer, but great for my BenchMac/TestBed lashup.
Yep, that's the one I have. I just really love having the stripper conveniently stored in the handle...
I like that I'm hard pressed to lose the stripper on the new tool. Not sure my stripper's still inside the handle, gotta find it.
