CABLE FISHING – Electricians' top tip for attaching cables to RUNPOTEC fish rods – #shorts

Check out this TOP TIP for drawing wire through conduit – 👍⚡️https://youtu.be/ldgF_Q2T19A⚡️

Best cable rods you can use are MT2 trunking lids never bought cable rods never will complete waste of money

I love how these guys sound like golf announcers

Electrical tape???

Why not just do none of that and pull the cable? I've do it all the time.

So….instead of using 3cents of electrical tape you would rather make the conductor 3 times normal size and fuck up the insulation while making it far more difficult to pull.

I need to have someone rewiring done in my house from the kitchen to the breaker and was wondering if it is possible to solder the new line to the old and just pull it through from the breaker when the old line is removed.

This is not a tip. This is a commercial. Sell us correctly boys.

I thought he’s gonna catch some fish with that setup 🤦‍♂️

Where are the fish? ,♡

Do they not have electrical tape in the uk?

Cuantos huecos tienen esas casas 🙄

Love it … never thought to do that I wonder how well it works with Romex Which is similar…fish sticks was the greatest invention for electricians …when I first started all we had was metal fish tapes .

All the wire I've fished in my days , I've taped a bent wire on end . Just brilliant mate sooooo easy & clean. Thanks for posting this easy tip.👍👍👍👍

I was 16 years Old On My first Construction Site I was ask to Assist the Electrician I came up with that Idea When I Realized that I did Not have a Razor knife to Cut the Nomex cable . another Trick is to Use Electrica / Duckl Tape and tape them together .

I always just stripped it and made a loop woth the core when I ran coax.

I like the old fashioned way with flexible conduit

Always good to have another trick up ones sleeves

This is eh. It's good so long as you don't catch a snag. Usually bending wires back and tape is overkill but it's so you have less chance of the wire breaking free of the fishing line. You also have the chinese finger trap bits that are WAAAY faster and better. The tighter you pull on the line, the tighter the wire cage holds the wire.

The coolest thing ever.

Yeah until the hole you need to fish through isnt big enough for the eyelette or the eyelett gets stuck on something

And they didn't show us the pipe it was being fished through or if there was any at all because….

Omg how have I survived 20yrs of sparking without knowing this….. 😴😴😴😴

For such an easy pull you can use tape. Lol

insulating tape. and no problem.

Try running that in a 1/2 conduit??? 100ft long
Thats a breeze doing that type of work……😴😴😴😴

Hmmm… wonder if that'll work on romex cable…??🇺🇸

I love the idea. I see all the haters talk about tape and folding back and small spaces…. Yeah yeah… There's a time and a place when that may be needed but not in every damn cable pull! Sftu and take the idea and either use it or not. I can think of plenty of applications that this would be handy. Thanks for the idea… this is just another trick to keep in mind.

I thought you were gonna fish with an electric cable?! Lol

I guess using tape isn't good wtf lol

Surely easier to fold and tape it

The cable just free floating under the floor not secured? Hmm

Wonder if something like this works with cat5 or fiber rather than wrapping with electric tape

OPEN CABLES ?!!
What kind of savage is doing that?! Here in Switzerland this would be against any code/law.
This is insane…

As a sparky of 11 years I wish I knew this 11 years ago. Dope trick mate.

Talk about negative efficiency by the time you has it all
Hooked up I would be fitting off my run in cables …… sometimes the wheel
Doesn’t need re inventing !

How are you going to get under the floor to strap that Romex?

Wtf would I do all this for when I could just tape them together? Imagine doing a couple thousand feet like this.

What is this 5 min hacks for Electricians? All these comments saying this is brilliant confuses me, you can accomplish the same thing with an 8 in piece of electrical tape. " We have a wire pull we need to do, awesome let me see your car keys, and go take down that hanging plant and grab that screw eye hook? Just an FYI, metal is super conductive, that's why those rods you are using are fiberglass!!!!

Waste of time 🤝

U can do the same thing with ductape
