Your best bet would be to try an industrial supplier.  As I recall, the 
installers at the company I used to work for, had no problem wire wrapping 
those shelves.

I would guess that Graybar still sells OK or some other brand.

	I got mine at Graybar (check your local business white pages, or 
www.graybar.com). OK Industries makes them. They're available in 
everything from a simple hand-wrap/unwrap tool on up to a power-operated 
version that resembles a drill.

the truth is, try searching ebay for wire wrap (gun,tool) and you can
find a wealth of pictures and products to choose from.

You need a handle, and sleeve and a barrel or get one that's complete.
The sleeve is designed for 20-26 gauge wire normally.

If there is not too much wrapping involved, take a bic or biro pen. put a
needle through the nib part so as to leave a whole, feed wire through from
the end that housed the refill, then wrap. We used this method for regrades
during mt BT days when wrapping guns were broke or busy elswhere.
