>> For example if you would normally quote 6 hours to snake and pull wire You can now do it in 2 hours <<

I think their labor saving estimates are a bit optimistic. We're going to save four hours on a six hour task just by pushing the snake straight through the pipe without stopping? I don't think so....

I suppose the savings would depend on a lot of things; are there many boxes but close together or all in a line, like a workshop? Are there enough helpers on the job and the boxes acessible enough so that guiding a fishtape is no big deal, or are you working alone and a lot of the boxes are scattered about or on different floors? I for one will be buying some.

i usually don't have that much trouble going thru a box,
if i have a good leader that's not kinked on the fishtape.

i have used these, however, and they are a good thing.

rack a tiers sells them.

i've also used a spring conduit bender like what is used for copper
pipe... get one that just slips in the conduit, and it'll hang out the box,
and guide the wire... if i need to soap it, sticking the spring in a bucket
of soap fills it up, and lubes the wire nicely.

I have those on my truck. I have never used them. I wonder how well they

work.

if it's a big day, and you lose them outside, they will float as well...
