They look like it, with a right-angle adapter plugged into the end.

Very nice, great find. That wire wrap tool is identical to one my dad had in his CE
toolkit (now lost
unfortunately). Are there any other markings on it apart from the IBM p/n?

I ... should take it from this that people don't just *own* these anymore?
This was an "essntial device" in my younger engineering days. Sigh.
Yes, I still have it. Yes, I have used it (albeit not recently). Yes,
I have used the Gardner-Denver electric tool as well, although in those
days I never could have afforded it.

I am not sure whether you meant "don't just own" or "just don't

last time we used it was to wire wrap a 2716 eprom programmer S-100 board we
designed (ok, he designed, but I helped build it) back in about 1981/82 or so.
I haven't seen or thought of it since then, but seeing it in the photo instantly
brought back the memory of it.
I have some of the tools, others have gone missing, for instance the large tool bag
at the rear of the first photo on
https://slx-online.biz/hursley/ce-data-list.asp?hur_archive=2
But I do still have the tool bag identical to the one in the foreground, in the
same russet brown colour but the zipper canvas has dry rotted.

Oh wow, what a great resource page :-)
What I kind of meant to imply was "but doesn't *everyone* have one?"
Sigh. It's probably over in the same closet as my ear trumpet ...

One of mine has a gold coloured handle, but is otherwise very similar.
I can't remember when I last used it.
Somewhere, I have a box full of wire wrap tools. I keep meaning to dig
it out and go through it, or at least drop it off at the local
consignment place, but I never seem to get round to it. There always
seems to be more to do than there is time to do it in.
Heck, I'm only replying to this because I'm off sick, today!

Always love having strands of wire
(4.5" long) with a FRU. Somewhere a
friend has a bag with 2 paper clips, and a FRU for that, as well as
another one with 2 rubber bands.? From an upgrade from a 9221 to some
other processor that showed up at our place.? All of that made a banker
box full of crap that the IBM guys were going to toss, since of course
they didn't need it in our case.

Aha, thanks for clearing this up. We definately had this tool on the
bench when doing the eprom programmer, I think we also had another one
or two that had a spinning end, like a pin vise arrangement, they might
have been blue, or we used blue wire. It was so long ago now.

New subject: S100 2716 programmer was Re: IBM MST extender cards
I thought I might have had some notes of the S100 2716 eprom programmer I mentioned (dad
just called
it the eprom burner) somewhere, and sure enough I did. I'm surprised they didn't
go along with all
the peripherals and doco when the S100 machine was sold sometime in the late 80s.
It's on foolscap paper, an unwieldy paper size nowadays and I don't miss it. The
burning code is 5
pages of z80 assembly, a few 2716 write timing diagrams, miscellaneous wiring diagrams and
a rough
block diagram of the thing, which I have just scanned here. It used an 8255 PPI:
