Different brand, but I dropped one of these and it exploded violently. The metal snapped as it unraveled, breaking into pieces. There is no way for me to ravel it back and I’m going to have to rent a dumpster just for this fricking metal string because it won’t fit into the garbage can.
This tool works, but Jesus Christ, if it fails your day is ruined.
fish tape can separate the men from the boys. an electrician that cant fish a wire will forever be soft handed. but yeah they absolutely suck ass when the housing breaks, i usually coil up the biggest lengths and keep them for fishing small wire behind a wall.
Just break it into smaller pieces that will fit. Or drive trough a poor neighborhood and toss it from your window.
Everybody knows the fiberglass models are superior
This is true
You two obviously haven't had the pleasure of Milwaukee's nylon coated twisted metal fish tape, have fun with your fiberglass splinters though.
Only goes up to 50ft, chud. When your going through conduits that are 100s of feet long, fiberglass just ain’t gonna cut it.
I meant the braided Milwaukee . Not fiberglass
Maybe babys first supply house only carries a 50' but I got 200 feet of that low drag fishing tape. slides right in,just like i do into your mom when she's ovulating.
Did you really need to be rude? Chill out with the disrespect
BTW, your dad films it and faps to your mom getting fricked when she's ovulating. Not trying to be rude just wanted to be honest.
You started with the chud shit because you're ignorant as hell.
Would need a cutoff disc. They're harder steel than your pliers. Could probably tape it up a couple times.
Easily find the 500' little buddy for small conduits. Here's this for bigger conduits.
> You started with the chud
It’s a joke, do you really think anyone of PrepHole is calling you a chud unironically?
Don’t be rude
Hammer and a big rock. Bend it, flatten it with the hammer and it will break.
if your running conduits you just shoot some mule tape down with compressed air
you can fire that shit down thousands of feet of conduit its got a 3k lb pull rating
I do the same for the big runs. I make a ball out of tape to fit the conduit to get the compressed air a better chance of pushing the mule tape. I have done the same with para cord and various other things.
I wish I could get that here in Europoorland. The fashionable thing round these parts is crimping a brass bullet like tip to your cable (conduit caliber, i.e. bigger than the cable) and then forcing the cable through with a ridiculously expensive (~10k Euros) compressed air gadget that forces the bullet tip through the conduit on a head of compressed air. Hence there's no mule tape to be had. Though it surely looks like one could substitute the plastic tape used to seal cardboard crates in a pinch.
what about a vacuum?
If youre.not doing a 5000nft long subdued run at a time, a vacuum with a bucket of hetline works for establishing the path.
Then you replace the jetline with muletape.
Little foam plugs pictured here are only good in brand new perfect conduit, otherwise just using someone ziplock snack bag works great because it can go over obstacles

Are you implying you don’t carry econo-tubs of silicone astroglide with you on site? Ughh..
The butt butter is for the conductors,if you need to lube your fish tape you're doing something wrongo.
never too much lube bud, the bigger the glob the better the job
Oh sorry you must be one of those nu-apprentices, you probably refer to dikes as "diagonal cutters" don't you?
These work on new builds.
God help you if you try to use them on an old farmhouse. You're better off just ripping down the drywall
what an awful fricking cut around that 2 gang mudring. thanks a lot senior lopez
You didn't notice the brand new gloves and fish tape? This is an electrician's picture. No way he can cut nicer holes than Miguel... But- he can afford brand new shit for every jobsite.
Post pictures you fricking LIAR
I had one of these, I frick hate it when they get binded inside the case. Nothing but problems with that stuff
I use pvc snake twisted wire now, fricking brilliant shit!!!!
If you don't use Klein then FRICK YOU
Just ordered GenderBender because it was only $15 dollars and I have to run a usb wire 5’.
Expectations are low
A LP torch might quickly anneal enough spots to wad it into a ball. Heat, fold, heat, fold etc.
>and it exploded violently
by that, do you mean unraveled violently?
