work great for me

Just what I need

This is a nice compact puller. The pull wire is stiff and tempered, so it shouldn't bend or kink. The housing is well constructed and should last well. There's a trigger on the handle and I'm not sure what purpose it serves. It doesn't do much as a lock or brake. It would be better if it weren't on there. After getting this, I compared it to a Klein at the store. The Klein had similar wire size, the housing was just a little bit heavier than this, but the price point was significantly different. Unless you're doing high volume commercial work, this puller should last a long time in the typical homeowner use. I recommend periodically pulling the wire out it's full length and wiping it with a light machine oil in a rag to keep it pulling smoothly and rust-free.

Is was easy to use and exactly what I needed.

buena calidad, hace su labor

I recently loaned out my fish tape I have had for years. Since it is 200 miles away, I order this one for some wire pulling next week. Most of these units are very similar in terms of construction and use. This one has the clam shell bolted together and it has an ineffective trigger brake on the handle. I suppose the later was added to help you pull by putting the brake on and then holding the case rather than the cable. Personally, I want my hands on the cable so I have the best feel for resistance. So, the brake and the included wire tires are non-factors in the decision to order this tape.The loop on the end is small enough to pass through a ½” hole if you attach your wire properly. Yes, this type or wire puller does bend and can flop around so they are best for EMT or when you have a good open access you can get your hand it. If you have a small target and need a stiff, straighter device, then you will probably be using fiberglass rods.

I already own a fish tape absolutely identical to this one by YIYITOOLS from 40 years ago - down to the color. When I saw it on Amazon, I thought, why not? I can keep one at my office and one in the truck. What I was really surprised to learn is that the quality is also identical to my 40 year old version. I really expected an inferrior tool to arrive. I was plesantly surprised.

For the price of this fishing tape, it will pay for itself in one use. It isn't the smoothest or flattest of tapes but it will run through smooth stud bays and conduit fine. It got hung up on my older path and plaster walls, but that's not unexpected. Perfect for light duty use though.
