been using a Roadrunner pen since my supply of (cheap) wire-wrap

     sockets dried up. Similar idea, but with enamelled copper wire
     instead. You wrap the wire round a socket pin or component lead 2
     or 3
     times, then solder it, run it to the next lead, wrap, solder and
     carry
     on. 
     Didn't Vector have a system that used tefzel-insulated wire called
     "Slit-N-Wrap" that used a wiring pen with a little spool of wire on
     top?  I've seen tefzel wire offered on eBay, but it always seems to
     be tinned, not silverplated.

      Yeah, I remember those ads.  "Slit-N-Wrap...don't Just Wrap and
    wonder if the post cut the insulation".  They were competing with
    the Just Wrap product, which is self-explanatory.

I was looking at an old ad for Ok Tools' "Just Wrap" today.    Are Just 
Wrap or Vector's Slit N' Wrap around anymore?   Were these not popular?  
Seems like they would have been much easier than cut n' wrap.
