That fish tape is way more dangerous than poking a plastic bottle with that pig sticker.

Great detailed demonstration. It would be better without the music.

I’ve been using a vacuum to suck at one end and tie a lasting shopping bag to the end of a rope, inset this at the other end of the pipe and it gets sucked through very fast. Gloves are needed. Have been doing this with instances of 300m and 6mm rope without problems. The only thing to watch is to firstly blow any water out of the pipe or your vacuum cleaner fills with water.

160' rod pull 😂 would've been done before he could've turned on the vacuum

What about existing runs you just want to add a run.

You da man Timmy😊

Just skip the pipe cheaper and easier.

You feeding. Who's pulling?

I have a problem though, my Shed is a He Shed.

Now we know where the foods are hiding 👀

Make sure the tape is 3M winter is better tape and sometimes a little dawn soap

Have a link for the knife?

Thank you so much for showing this!

It looks like your beard

um.. so I have a pipe that comes down my house thru a crawl & into the basement panel. Wondering if mice can get up there, thru the pipe & into my electrical box? Is that even possible? Maybe I should apply this to the top of that pipe where the outdoor service enters it. For all I know it's sealed but given this house - likely not. Wouldn't flipping off the main switch on the panel suffice for cutting the current off?

i like the suck method better

Love this video. Just curious, I want to add power to my shed, but only plan on having outlets for a tv, speakers, install a ceiling fan and a plug in air conditioner. Would I need a subpanel for all this or could I just do an inlet to run power to the shed form my house?

I want to run power to my shed to basically have a tv and lights out there for a hangout. Is this something that would work and would 60-70 amps be good?

How about a small balloon!

I am all for small/local businesses, but $10 a lb is insane prices. I just bought gardner bender 5 lb pugs for $18 Canadian off of amazon.

Close but no banana. Been there done that for 50 years as a master electrician.

Thank god I have good collegues, who also know to pull wire without tape and a hammer, in half the time you did. First of all take some good rope and not this packingrope. If you're a educated electrician, you know how to tie a rope to a couple of wire, without the electrical tape, which will become loose if you're unlucky and cause more friction then you want.

Lmaooo

12:06 bro watch out for the raw edge sheet metal roofing, imagine you had a snag and the string breaks.

It’s a shame you didn’t show the string popping up at the other end. Love the video 👍👍

I remember using a kitten to run cables under the floorboards on an old house I was working on. It was the old lathe and plastered ceiling, so it wasn’t a smooth run to push the cables through. Trouble was I had to coax him through with some cat food at the other end, The first attempt, he just sat there 😂. On top of the floorboards were the furniture and carpet. 👍👍

That’s so weird. I would’ve never have dreamt of that 👍👍👍

Do you have to hold a specialty license of any kind to bid specific jobs. I been building bathrooms and kitchens for years now, from bare studs to finish product and I do everything from floating walls, tiling, and slab countertop installs and from time to time will do some concrete work. I know masonry or tile licensing could cover all that but if I had a GC license would I need those other “specialty” licenses as well so I can have my own crew work on it? I also have experience with retaining walls and pouring concrete slabs so I wouldn’t want to limit myself by only getting a specialty license but online I get confused because apparently a GC cant bid on “single trade” projects unless they have a specialty license in that trade. Seems like at that point I would have to turn down jobs that would be for like a simple slab pour since that’s only one trade technically.

When you have No idea what you are doing you get this!😂 Allot of waste of material (electrical tape)🤦‍♂ Learn proper knots and you don't even need that tape. BTW just use a proper pull-wire

Pulled a lot of wire and cable in my working years, still do sometimes as a Handyman...This is a good idea and wire soap helps too.

I am not a big fan of using vacuums I have never seen an underground pipe that doesn't have water in it and most of the time there's multiple spots with dirt and debris choking the pipe. This technique is great if it's a new install if its existing I run my duck auger and I taper Loop of string on the end because the duck auger won't go up the last 90. So I just pushed my metal fish down the couple feet and hook the loop and pull it up . I've been running underground fiber for 10 years and this works the best at least in New York

Use a pulling sock with a journeyman twist, tape with a tab. Mule tape and some foam lube spray is best in order to not cut the sweeps.

I use the Greenlee mighty mouser kit and vacuum. It's the proper way. Good improvised method in any case. Cheers🎉

Would have been far easier to suck it.

Cut your wires at an angle I had a great tip from my partner while trying to fir a 3mm Shrint Tube all the in my cellphone charger while repairing it. He said,have you used a silicon notice how it smooth out your finger when working with it?,use some of that when pulling wire. It will smooth out the pulling. Now try that! :)

3x faster? You spent 20 minutes just cutting the silly bottle snd trying to feed it.

The only recommendation I have, is when you pulled the wires you should have also pulled a new pull string with them. That way, if you need to do something in that conduit in the future, you have it ready to go.

Ok, by the time you're setting up all this, I've already pulled the wire through. Great video.

I literally did this more than 35 years ago. I didn't use a water bottle. I just took a paper towel and wadded it up and tied the string around the wad. Poked it into the hole and used out FilterQueen vacuum on the positive side and blew it through 50 feet of pipe and 2 elbows. No water bottle needed.

One bump and it’s all spilling out 💀

music in a vid is so so annoying. Thanks for the useful info.

That's just the appliance wiring and not a junction box

effective but inefficient

Great video. We call ourselves General Building Contractors, do both New and remodel. With a preference on New. I think you summed it up well.

Yup.
