We have used them in the past and they work well. Sometimes the roller will pop out it's spring loaded and can be re-installed if you don't lose the spring. I think appleton or gedney still have them .

So $30 bucks just so I don't have to be as careful?

I will stick to normal ones. :smile:

Of course a lot of places that use those types of fittings will reuse them when they relocate equipment.
 
They really do work well . If you are pulling thru an lb they can aid in keeping the conductors from abrasion but where they can pay for the extra cost is when installing large conductors in the lb. You can push-pull conductors and with roller they slide in easier and you don't have to fight cover installation.

I use scrap cardboard and the butt of my hammer for that process.
 
I have never had any luck with the rollers...they pop out if you put much pressure on them and that is when you need them the most. One of the brands had a snap in black spring steel device with a rounded edge that worked well. I am not sure what brand that was...they work even better than the cardboard with soap on it...and they didn't pop off like the rollers.

Good to know I'm not the only nerd here who can quote manufacturers like some can quote sports statistics. Oh, and your forgot Sepco. ;)
 
I Keep some ridgid couplings on my truck with a slot cut lengthwise in them. When I get to the last of a pull I put the coupling over the top of the LB and the rounded surface of the coupling aids in getting the wires in.
