On our trip out to Ohio Power Tool we got a chance to meet Will from Southwire Electrician Tools and Equipment, he showed us the SIMpull non-conductive fish tape (FTSP45-125NCT) and also he shared a obvious hack for electricians that 99.9% of people don't know about!

Ok you FINALLY got me. Only because you said 99.9% instead of the usual 99%. So far I've always been that one out 100 that already knew. I guess I'm not the one out of 1,000 though today. For the first half of the video I was thinking, that's gonna fail inside large pipe. I was very happy you asked him about it though.
Lol I could’ve pushed string around that demo
The problem isn't getting it through 360 deg bends back to back, it's after 50 ft and after the bends go in opposite directions.
today i was using steel fish tape , and it would always get stuck at the second 90° bend, but the test you did was a short run, i would like to know how it would do on a longer run like 40-50ft with two 90° bends
The kid in me always loves things that glow in the dark.
Will is the man. he shined bright in this video. you guys need to hire him full time!
We got one of these at my job last year. It worked great in the test they had set up. They didn't give us a size for using it. Ours got mangled in an under ground temp conduit. It bound up pushing through then pinched itself trying to pull it out. The pinch point made it hard to use in long runs with multiple bends. I'm gonna have to get a new head and definitely try that head truck next time. Would hate to have to restrict to to short runs in small conduit.
Hi Guys!!! Hey Vince, is that swirled conduit a good test for fish tape? That conduit went around clockwise the whole length, which might be easier to run fish tape thru instead of having the conduit going one way, then U-turn the other way, then 90 degrees up, then U-turn down, etc. Maybe that would be a tougher test?
Sound like a bunch of Snake Oil Salesman from the 1800s
thanks to Will from southwire for showing that fish tape and other southwire products...great job bro 👍
I’m gonna need a demonstration of that whiffle ball hack.
Awesome video! That was some good stuff. Southwire continues to impress! Will, good people right there!
Good to see you from the Ohio Trip! Good video!
I use that Southwire fish tape at work. It’s comparable to the Klein Tools fiberglass fish tape and the neon color helps with locating it in a dark ceiling. I actually prefer it over the stiff Klein fiberglass fish tape.
Have used many fish tapes/poles/etc....in my time & have tried them all. I do like the new “tech” of the tapes that have come out in the past few years. Makes things a little easier on the job👍🏻. Can remember first job site was on using a steel fish tape on a 20-30 ft run w/ some 90s & I got the thing stuck, & had to cut it off.....not fun to do; as you lose time.
Southwire the Super Come Up company. Made in America and the customer support is amazing
There’s a fish tape and fishing joke here somewhere and I can’t quite put the bobber stop on it.
that's awesome I do building maintenance looks awesome klien steel fish tape now I going to replace it with this one love it makes it easy thanks guys
I always like learning about electrician work even though I don't do it. Can't afford to have an eleckchicken come when I rewire my garage, so I have a lot to learn!
22 year union sparky. IBEW 340. Gonna have the shop order one tomorrow. Thanks for the video!
