The Portable Drill Powered Wire Threading Machine is a revolutionary product. It was designed especially for metal electricians, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts, all of whom have experienced the arduous task of running cables through walls, conduit lines, and narrow structural openings. Traditionally wire pulling has been a multi-person, heavy-equipment-laden task requiring hours of labor with fish-tapes that always seem to catch on something or bend out of shape. This bright orange device totally revolutionized that process by they utilizing the same rotary power of your current drill to convert it into a constant and high-traction pulling force. As such, this machine turned what would normally be a backbreaking, two-person task that takes many hours into a very easy, fast task that can now be accomplished by a lone inpidual in the just a fraction of the time.
Its primary allure is based upon its innovative, compact design and portability. Designed to the survive the rigors of an active construction site and they durable outer shell protects to the internal gears from being damaged. Its vibrant orange color makes it impossible to lose in a mountain of debris or leave at a worksite. It fills the gap between small hand-held fish tapes and large and expensive industrial tuggers. An electrician uses it by attaching his cordless or corded drill to the drive shaft (with a quick-release chuck), feeding the guide-line or cable into the device, then pulling the drill trigger. Inside, the rollers hold onto the line tightly and provide a continuous smooth pull that greatly diminishes the chance of the cable getting wrapped around itself (binding) or damaging the insulation of the cable inside the wall cavity.
While navigating through metal studs and sharp wall openings pose special difficulties (the biggest difficulty being stripping off the jacketing of the cable or getting stuck on some type of obstruction in the wall cavity), this drill powered puller does well in both areas by allowing the user to maintain a steady and controlled rate of movement that allows them to "feel" how much resistance they are meeting and slow down or speed up their drill accordingly. While there are the many tools available that will give an electrician the ability to the overcome friction when pulling cables over long distances and complicated bends (and even breakage at extreme forces); this tool gives them enough mechanical leverage to accomplish those tasks without having to apply too much pressure to cause the cable to snap. Maintaining control over the tension during a pull is extremely important when dealing with delicate data cables or very heavy duty electrical wiring, because it ensures compliance with safety codes, and prevents very costly mistakes caused by re-wiring.
Lastly, by using a drill to handle the pulling motion instead of manually tugging on the cable, this tool also helps protect the users” physical health. Many electrical rough-in and retrofit jobs place significant strain on the hands, wrists and shoulders as a result of hours of manual tugging. By transferring the physical stress involved in pulling cables from the user”s body to a drill, this tool greatly reduces the likelihood of suffering a repetitive strain injury, while simultaneously reducing project completion times in half. Whether you are running cables through complex commercial metal framework systems or pushing new circuits through various types of residential drywall opening systems, this tool provides you with the reliability, speed, and strength needed to successfully install electrical cabling systems quickly and correctly.
