I can't answer as any comment from me would be bullpucky. Since have no experience w/ the product.

They had a can of that on display at the supply house. I asked how it worked and was told they didn't know because no one bought any. I think it was 15-20 bucks a can.

I've tried it. If it is cold don't store it in your truck. It won't work. The hose and nozzle are a little annoying too with how they coil it up in the cap.

Works well.

Works well.

Do you find that it adds any value if you are using SimPull (TM) wire in the first place?

 

[ActionDave]

Simpull works as advertised. I doubted it at first but got brave and tried it with no lube and by golly it pulled just as easy without the mess.

I use the klein foam works really well, have never used any lube with simpull type wire so i couldnt say.
I have used simpull wire and it went right in so as only an educated guess i think lube on it would be wasteful unless it is a loong pull with all 360° worth of bends used.

I've only used SimPull in NM and I never have to use lube on NM. Although I probably should have on a couple of occasions.

I usually use lube on conduit pulls with either larger wire or several bends. I had to pull in some wire in conduit that already had conductors in it. Don't think I could have done it without lube as it was difficult even with the lube!
