Just purchased 12 TTHN stranded Encore Pull Pro, about $7 more a thousand tha the 500 ft spools
https://www.encorewire.com/pullpro/
Thousand foot put ups, but seems like it will save a wire rack and with stranded the wire coming off the spools.
Southwire makes a similar product....
Any one use this?
 
That product seems like it's going back in time to when wire (TW and THW) came in a flat box with a hole in the center. :)

But the wire now is so much better. :cool:

Occasionally I'll run into a new box of that old stuff that was sitting around and I wonder how electricians pulled that stuff in back then. We sure have it a lot easier now in so many ways.

.
no, but let us know how it works out.
the 1,000' length will save on all the
little spools left over....
 
I used the Southwire version (don't tell MasterTheNEC) but it had black/white/green in one coil pack, it was very nice rather than lugging a wire cart around. I can see the merit of these new fangled dispensing systems.

Time is money. It might cost a little more but, hopefully save enough labor to make it worth while.
 
I was going to try Southwire, but couldn't find a local wholesale house that carried it (are you listening Master the NEC?)
The wire in the plastic pack is spiral wrapped, the packs snap together. For me the disadvantage is the packs are larger than 500 ft spools. I am an instrument tech/electrician, so don't pull lots of wire, but this system seems easier
