A fabric sleeve in the form of a strip of material having compatible attachment members along its lateral edges, is applied to a cable by a device located at a site where the cable can be introduced into a conduit. The device includes a beam carried by a post. The beam carries a plurality of formers which receive the sleeve and the cable from rolls and which progressively fold the sleeve around the cable. The beam also carries an attachment device which receives the sleeve and cable from the formers and which connects the attachment members of the sleeve to confine the cable therein. The attachment device can be opened so that the sleeved cable can be removed. The device is operated at the site until the sleeved cable reaches a downstream installation site and the process is repeated at that downstream site.

A pushing tool for propelling cable into a duct. The pushing tool includes a drive wheel that is coupled with a base and a rotatable handle. A first cable guide and a second cable guide are configured to hold the cable. A duct guide is configured to hold the duct. Furthermore, a tension wheel is configured to interact with the drive wheel such that an orifice is formed between the tension wheel and the drive wheel, the orifice being configured to receive the cable. Upon rotation of the rotatable handle, the drive wheel interacts with the tension wheel to propel the cable into the duct.

The present invention relates to a fish tape drilling attachment device primarily comprised of a housing, further comprised of at least one bearing, at least one shaft, at least one cam, and at least one cam lever. A fish tape can be fed through the housing such that it is contacted by the cam, wherein the shaft can spin freely within the housing via the bearing such that the hammer action of the drill causes the fish tape to act like a spring in order to slowly move the fish tape through a piece of conduit.

A device to automate or semiautomate a fish tape is provided that can include an attachable handle with battery operated motor, rollers, gears and controls that can be integrated into its own or existing fish tape spools. Another embodiment provides a left and right plate and an assembly about a member to be driven by a crank or other automated means to mobilize a fish tape which over comes the limitations of existing manual and automatic fish tapes making it safer, more efficient and easier for an operator to pull wire.

A cable puller adapter includes a rotatable gripping member which receives and guides a tailing portion of a pulling line coupled between a capstan of a cable puller and the gripping member, an adapter motor which applies torque to the gripping member, and a controller operatively coupled to the gripping member and configured to measure an amount of current drawn by or provided to the adapter motor, and configured to determine a rotational speed of the adapter motor or the gripping member. The controller adjusts a tailing force on a tailing portion of the pulling line by modulating an amount of current provided to the adapter motor, so as to maximize velocity of the tailing portion of the pulling line as the gripping member rotates. A method of use is also provided.
