A spool winder. The spool winder includes a plurality of arms, each having an upper end and a lower end. The plurality of arms are pivotally affixed at the lower end about a rod, wherein the rod can removably secure to a power drill. A notch is disposed on the upper end such that the notch faces the rod, wherein the notch can receive a rim of a spool therein. The spool winder further includes a slide lock having a plurality of apertures therein, wherein the plurality of apertures can receive the plurality of arms therethrough. The plurality of arms can move between a closed position and an open position as the slide lock is moved from the upper end towards the lower end. The distance between the upper end of each of the plurality of arms and the rod is greater when the arms are in the open position.

An apparatus, method, and system for power unwinding and winding of coiled duct rodding on a duct rodder or other coiled conduit. A unit can be mounted to a duct rodder stand or other coiled conduit stand. The unit includes a rotatable axle having a drive wheel at one end and an opposite end that is adapted for releasable connection to the chuck of a battery powered portable drill or driver. When connected to the drill or driver, the drive wheel can be rotated in opposite directions by the detachable battery powered drill or tool. An optional pinching wheel on the unit can be adjusted relative the drive wheel to provide adjustable pinching pressure on duct rod or other conduit to facilitate movement of duct rodding or other conduit in response to drive wheel rotation. In one example, the drive wheel and pinch wheel are on a frame that can be removably clamped to a stand that supports a cage or reel of coiled duct rodding or other conduit.

This disclosure describes a high speed winch rewind adapter for quickly rewinding a loading strap. In one implementation, the adapter includes a body having a volume sized to at least partially surround an annular end of the winch. The annular end is coupled with a ratchet mechanism of the winch and having at least one hole for receiving a winch bar. A drive connector is positioned both within the volume of the body and external to the volume of the body, the drive connector external to the volume of the body having an external profile to receive a torque, and the drive connector within the volume of the body insertable into the annular end of the winch for alignment to the axis of rotation. A coupling mechanism synchronizes the drive connector to the annular end such that both the drive connector and the annular end rotate simultaneously.

An apparatus for removing flexible filament from a spool. The apparatus includes a spool body and an end cap with a tension arm. It is designed to be inserted into a drill chuck and filament like fishing line is wound about the spool body and tension arm. After the line is wound, the end cap and tension arm piece is removed from the spool body and the line is removed.

A puller in accordance with some example embodiments includes a frame and a capstan rotatably mounted on the frame. The capstan has a body having an angled wall portion and a movable end wall. A boom is mounted to the frame and has a head at an end thereof which can be positioned in a variety of positions.

The layout line spooling device forms the working element of a tool. The layout line spooling device is configured for use with a drill. The layout line spooling device attaches to the drill to form the working element of the drill. The layout line spooling device is configured for use with a cord. The layout line spooling device forms a spool that takes up the cord for storage. The layout line spooling device incorporates a handle structure, a mounting bushing, and a spool structure. The mounting bushing attaches the spool structure to the handle structure. The drill attaches to the spool structure. The rotation of the drill provides the motive forces that winds the cord onto the spool structure for storage.
