untangler
Snarl removal tool
An untangler is someone or something that separates things that have become knotted or confused.
The word applies literally to physical snarls—an untangler of Christmas lights, fishing line, or matted hair—and figuratively to complex problems: She was the untangler of bureaucratic messes.
The term often implies patience and methodical skill.
