What is claimed is:

1. A vacuum assembly for vacuuming around an electrical post while unwrapping wire from the electrical post with a wire wrap removal tool, the tool having two ends, a first end being adapted for engaging the wire wrapped around the electrical post, the vacuum assembly comprising:

a hollow housing for receiving the removal tool therein;

tool connecting means for connecting the second end of the removal tool inside the housing and rotating the removal tool therein in order to unwrap the wire from the electrical post; and

vacuum means communicating with the housing for drawing a vacuum in the housing and in the vicinity of the tool as the tool unwraps the wire.

2. The assembly as described in claim 1 wherein the housing has a flexible end portion adjacent the first end of the removal tool.

3. The assembly as described in claim 1 wherein the tool connecting means is a tool turning knob rotatably attached at one end of the housing, the knob connected to the second end of the removal tool.

4. The assembly as described in claim 1 further including a handle attached to the side of the housing for holding the assembly when unwrapping wire with the wire wrap removal tool.

5. A vacuum assembly for vacuuming around an electrical post while unwrapping wire from the electrical post with a wire wrap removal tool, the tool having two ends, a first end adapted for engaging the wire wrapped around the electrical post, the vacuum assembly comprising:

a hollow housing for receiving the removal tool therein, one end of the housing being flexible for receipt around one or more electrical posts when the first end of the removal tool engages the wire, the second end of the removal tool being rotatably attached inside the other end of the housing using a tool connecting means for rotating the removal tool therein in order to unwrap the wire from the electrical post; and

vacuum means communicating with the housing for drawing a vacuum in the housing and around the tool as the tool unwraps the wire.

6. The assembly as described in claim 5 wherein the tool connecting means is a tool turning knob rotatably attached to the housing, the knob connected to a socket for receiving an end of the removal tool therein in a press fit.

7. The assembly as described in claim 5 further including a hollow handle, one end of the handle attached to and communicating with the hollow housing, the other end of the hollow handle connected to the vacuum means for drawing a vacuum in the housing and around the tool as the tool unwraps the wire.
