It is my impression that pull line (jet line)(poly nylon string) is often used to tie up temporary stringers and branch circuits. Jet line is expensive.
Has anyone looked into a cheaper alternative nylon twine?
Feedback is welcome

I keep used pull line around for less critical uses.

I find a piece of threaded rod in a cordless drill makes wrapping up used string a breeze.

The rod is real important!

6500' for $50.00? it's less than a penny a foot. The money it saves in labor beats it's pricing ten ways to breakfast! Enlighten me.
I use it for anything and everything when I'm setting up to pull in my home runs. Now that big rope that we use for main feeders is expensive! Blew in over 4000' foot (of jet) the last couple of days. hope the pulls go as smooth as the vacuum/fish tape did...(It better, piped for better than three weeks).

poly line from Uline is only $24 a box, or $31 for the super heavy duty 3 ply kind. same stuff as jet line / pull string, etc.
