Wire Pulling Tool

As I said in my previous post, we've got lots of cables run around the building already. But we do occasionally have to pull wires to a place that we weren't planning on running a PC. In the past, we used wire coat hangers, other wire, or whatever else we could find lying around. Now, we're carrying Greenlee tools, so we have the J-Hook tips on 12' rods for pulling wire. They call them "Fish Stix", but they're not for lunch.

They're even pretty strong. Greenlee rates them as 200 pound minimum pulling strength. That's not bad at all, and great for when a cable is a little stubborn. There are even additional tips for different sizes of wires, and multiple stix can be connected together, making for 4', 8' and 12' lengths to match the job. It's almost exciting to run our next cable run now that we can go fishing, but not quite. But it'll be much more enjoyable than last time and should involve fewer bandages.
