Selected User Reviews For 50' Fiberglass Cable Wire Running Rod Coaxial Electrical Connectable Fish Tape Pull Kit With Hook And Hole Kit In Transparent Tube, Yellow
I bought this to use for fishing through my ceilings to pull ethernet cableing, but it's not up to the task of going through a mostly empty joist bay for even the simplest of tasks. Because it lacks strength and rigidity, it will droop down and snag when you need to go over top of an obstacle such as another wire that is more than six inches away from you. When you're pulling it back through with your wiring, if you managed to get it all the way across, it'll snag on everything. br>br>Saving money by purchasing a simple tape measure - It is more powerful and functional.
For small runs and corners, I use this miniature fishing rod. If you're trying to fish 12/3 up two or three stories through the walls, you'll need a heavier duty rod, but if you're negotiating wires in tight spaces or pulling cat5/6 or coax, this tool will suffice. br>br>The features that make it unsuitable for long, heavy pulls are also the features that I like the most: short sections, great flexibility, and the ability to easily fish through a corner where a partition wall meets an exterior wall. I use the ring puller a lot because I'll feed the rod around a corner until I can grab it, then tie off some waxed masons line and attach it to the wire I'm pulling, wrap it in electrical tape, and wax it. When you pull it back through, it gives you enough wiggle room to pull it through easily. br>br>I just finished installing the wiring for my kids' built-in computer bench, and this was the tool that I used the most.
These are good quality for the price; they are not as thick as my other name brand fish sticks, so they go around corners more easily, but due to their flexibility, they cannot be pushed as far. The included attachments are more useful and plentiful than the name brand, especially the split rings, which make it simple to disconnect a pulling head. As I was pulling across an attic, I didn't try the magnetic ring, but I will try it in a wall later. I was unable to destroy the rods by pulling the crimped end off the rod with reasonable force, so I am confident that they will continue to serve me well.
" It's too thin and flimsy to be useful. Something akin to a cane pole was what I was looking for. This device is also said to be used to pull electrical wire, and it appears to work well. This item should not be classified as a fishing pole.
The product is nice, and the diameter is small. If you try to make a long run (more than 4 feet) without support, they will bend. br>Threaded ends work well, but they are metric. If you buy a light for the end, you'll need an adapter.
This item is fantastic. It's a straightforward concept, with males on one end and females on the other. It includes the connectors you'll need to attach the wire you'll be fishing through. I've read a lot of good things about the fish wire spools, but they're slightly bent and won't give you a straight shot when you need it. With this product, you won't have to be concerned.
I've used it two or three times on jobs and it appears to be well-made for a low-cost item. Pushing the rods is impossible due to their thinness and flexibility. Because of this, I consider it to be a pull stick.
This was the most cost-effective way to complete the installation of security cameras throughout my home.
