A fish tape tool includes a housing and a chamber defined in the housing. A drum is configured to be inserted into the chamber of the housing. The drum contains a fish tape. The drum is rotatable relative to the housing to dispense or retract the fish tape from the housing. The drum is one of a plurality of drums that are insertable into and removable from the chamber of the housing. Each drum contains a different type of fish tape.

The present invention relates to a wire gripper to aid in wire pulling and method of use, A gripper is inserted into an interior cavity. A base comprises an interior cavity and a threaded attachment. The gripper comprises more than one flexible finger. A wire receptacle is formed between the flexible fingers. The gripper slides into the interior cavity of the base. A collar is open at both the top and bottom end. A wire passes through the top end of the collar and slides into the wire receptacle. The wire is retained within the wire receptacle by fastening the base to the collar causing the flexible finger to apply retaining pressure to the wire preventing the wire from being removed from the wire grabber. A pulling tension is applied by an installer person to the wire grabber to pull the wire from a starting location to a destination location.

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.

A repairing tool for an electric wire threading head for pressing and squeezing a drawing-in wire of the electric wire includes a first holding part, a second holding part opposite to the first holding part, and two positioning bolts for fastening the first holding part and the second holding part. A first half screw hole and a second half screw hole are protrudingly formed on the first holding part and the second holding part to form a complete screw hole. The drawing-in wire is pressed and squeezed through the positive rotation or reverse rotation of the repairing tool to form an external screw thread part and increase a screw thread area, and the surface of the external screw thread part is applied with instant dry adhesive and rotated into a pulling head, so that the drawing-in wire is closely adhered to the pulling head and tensile strength is improved.

A cable puller in accordance with some example embodiments is configured to pull rope or cable through a conduit. The cable puller includes a puller frame, a capstan rotatably mounted thereon, a boom mounted to the puller frame, and a handle extending from the boom. The handle can be pivoted to a variety of positions relative to the boom. A lock locks the handle into a desired position relative to the boom. In some embodiments, the boom is mounted to a wheel assembly, and in some embodiments, the handle is part of the wheel assembly.

A fish tape case is configured to house a fish tape in accordance with some example embodiments is provided. The fish tape includes a shell having a rotatable tray therein. A fish tape extends through openings in the shell and the tray. The fish tape case does not include a handle.

A method of installing cable through material, for example, concrete, wood, masonry, plastic steel, or the like comprising a drill bit with a distal end having a hollow tip with an attachment mechanism for receiving the cable. The drill bit is drilled through the material, and left in place while the cable is attached to the proximal end of the drill bit. There is no need to remove the drill bit from the aperture or material to attach the cable thereto. After attachment to the drill bit, the cable is inserted through the aperture with the drill bit and removed from the drill bit after it passes through the material so it can be attached to a receiver device.
