How To Use Fish Rods for Pulling Cables

[@JarodFrancis]

Fantastic video, these things sell amazingly well

[@zanedzikonski4234]

I bought the short/compact one for the reason he mentioned. It was perfect fit in the tool box but it has a major flaw in that screwing in the 6 18”pieces it takes to go 9ft is quite time consuming. If doing a drop celing removing all the tiles might be faster. (2 ceiling tiles is 8 ft) Remember it takes time to take it apart too.....not a bad product but time is money so it’s something to keep this in mind. As for myself I have all three of the types mentioned in the video and they work great.

This is an ad not a how-to video. Does not show you how to use them just talks about their products that they sell.

[@MrRamman04]

I just used tent poles worked great for one time use

[@UserCommenter]

Wow. Ingenious. Thanks :)

[@victorquesada7530]

That's a really good idea! I'm probably getting tape tomorrow, but that could be helpful in the future

[@AccessControlForum]

Thanks, never used the whisk before we may have to check it out. Side note, ethernet is not a wire or cable its a protocol that can be used on fiber, coax, UTP, STP, etc. We mention it because of so many misconceptions about UTP & STP we deal with on a daily. So being somewhat technical in nature we thought we'd point this out to your channel. Thumbs up from us!

[@chentskooner2502]

Yes but the vast majority of the world refers to Cat5, Cat6 cables as ethernet cable. I agree, the whisk thing looks handy, i might have to get one also.

[@AccessControlForum]

Good point, from a practical stand point you could be right. But if you are teaching you have to have a different standard. Language in electronics is important. We needed that whisk the other day. Home depot doesn't carry them.

[@edwinvp]

Ethernet is not a protocol.

I believe these rods are sold in the UK under the Super Rod brand. The Glo Glider (an upgraded version of the whisk) looks interesting. I'm wondering it it'll fit the existing CK rods I have?

[@Sean-qo9yu]

Helpful, thanks.

Good video, but the title is misleading. This is definitely not a "how to" instructional video.

[@Saitekman]

Miguel Guzmán-Centeno Yep was looking for a How to. I don't have a fishing type rod set up. I need to Mcgiver this thing into the wall to attic. Guess I will look for more vids.

[@Jeff82556]

EXACTLY, Miguel. I clicked the link to learn how to USE rods to run wire and such - NOT to figure out what these are for .... duh. If a baker showed you a baked cake, would you know how to bake a cake?

[@realkk]

I thought it’s kinda self explanatory. It’s a rod going through a cavity. What more information do you need?

[@myteamrodriguez2246]

great video rock on!!

[@StonedAlone13]

This would have been very convenient to use if it wasn't freaking $80 +tax in Canada for a 15 foot rod. Honestly... I'm about to pull out the rods in my tent that do the exact same thing and see if that works because at that price, its nowhere near helpful for the one time i need it.

[@Arbknight]

Lol soooo true!!! $80 for some sticks?? I'll go to Value Village and buy a used Tent and use those rods to fish wire through my basement ceiling

[@StonedAlone13]

+Arbknight Just a little update: I needed to fish some patch cable through my house which brought me to this page. I ended up getting the rods that come with my tent, duct tape them together, bend a coat hanger into a little hook, and it worked perfectly. Nobody bother spending $100 on this shit product when you can get a tent AND this for the same price.

[@AlexanderNecheff]

+StonedAlone13 These tools are meant for someone who is doing this as a career and will be frequently pulling cable not a DIYer who might only use the tool once or twice. (and believe me after your first commercial job the tools pay for themselves). I'm not a "cable puller" but a lot of the roles I worked in basically required me to do this from time to time, the companies I worked for always owned the gear so at home I would make my own tools; for shorter runs a metal coat hanger actually works pretty well after being unwound, has some flexibility to it. I also have a few long drill bits - one is actually like 4 feet long, they are great for a more rigid rod.

[@StonedAlone13]

+Alexander Necheff I definitely understand in a professional environment you want the best tools for the job. I'm just saying the price mark up for what the tool is should still be reasonable. At the end of the day they're just flexible rods that can be connected together. There's no advanced technology, or rare materials or anything, it's just rods. In comparison, I bought a 50' wheel of flat, flexible, metal fishing rod at Canadian Tire for $20 and it has worked absolute wonders. So a 15' slightly more flexible rod for almost $100 is sort of ridiculous.

[@KO-ue9vj]

+StonedAlone13 they sell fiberglass 'rods' that screw together to clean out the dryer vent. Maybe they would work too.

[@michaelchitwood6226]

Thank you. Good educational video.

[@Bipolarvideos]

Soo are you gonna show us how to actually use them?

[@gamalielperez7984]

Es lo único.

[@chrispatriot]

Too funny, video header says "How To Use" and all it did was sell its products... 😅

[@24james]

This just show the tools....not how to actually USE them in a wall💯🤮👎🏽

[@sageRJRJ]

Still have no idea "How To" use these. I wish I had more hands, so I could give this video four thumbs down.
