No.

No.

I dont think there going to be that popular.You need a juction box after 4 ninties.Maybe they would be ok for straight runs.

 

[Rewire]

I dont know how well this would be for long runs with multiple boxes and 90s

I've done plenty of jobs where you would have dozens of boxes in a straight run. 4squares aren't just for pull boxes, ya know. I also use them for light fixtures......

Long runs in corridors for lighting, fire alarm, etc. is another use.

But personally, I would never need such a tool. I put worms on the ends of all my fishtapes, and have no problems getting it to go through box after box. I don't have any pix of it, but I did 28 boxes in about 180' in a school once for either the fire alarm or speaker system (I don't recall any more) and pushed the tape from one end to the other. Pulled the cables from on end to the other, then went through and pulled loops into each box.

I can see where they would be very useful. Thanks for the link.

[Pierre C Belarge]

They have procured a patent, someone spent some time and money putting these together...

Looks like a pretty neat device. I'm sure there are quite a few applications we could use them...

 

[George Stolz]

And the price is...?

Same here, thanks.

Interesting observations, in no particular order:

They're destroyed in removal, assuring repeat purchase.

The red ones remind me of green wirenuts and screws.

Only new ones may require trimming; used ones don't.

I might just take that idea and cut up a couple scrap pieces of carflex.

Now that's a good idea!

I cant get past the picture of the fish tape,without a taped pull loop.

 

[George Stolz]

What do you mean? Hooks never catch on couplings or connectors.

Nope Never.

the only thing i've every used a fish tape like that for is snagging another
tape that won't go around the last ninety.

Different hooks for different folks. I bend mine like that for fishinbg in walls. you get two bent like that and kicked to the side slightly and you flip them and it catches the other. For conduit I've found that the little leader they sell is best for that.

I would say the answer is no.:grin:

>> 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....
