This invention relates generally to the field of commercial and residential electrical wiring installation and, more specifically, to the protection of electrical wires when they are pulled into and out of electrical junction or other electrical wiring boxes.

It is preferable that the upper surface of the instant invention be manufactured so as to be smooth and rounded so that wire may pass over it with out risk of damage. Additionally, the preferred method of attaching the instant device to the junction box is by way of a slot or groove which has been cut so as to match the box dimensions as nearly as is possible.
