That fish tape is awesome. I would like to see it tested going through conduit while some conductors are in it. Would it struggle and not make it all the way through? It looks like it bends easily
Southwire one is better, and I feel like I need to take a shower after saying that. The Southwire’s tape is high viz. tennis ball green/yellow much easier to see and identify in low light or no light situations. Now if I could get over the embarrassment of owning anything from Southwire enough to carry one on the job site, instead of using my nylon fish tape from Klein...😳
I love the concept of the rod cutter, but honestly nothing is better than a band saw. You can't strap a bundle of 6 to 8 pieces of 3/8 rod to a pipe vice and saw through them all with a rod cutter. It may have it's place on a smaller scale, but for bigger jobs, the bandsaw is the way to go. Besides, it's more versatile because you can cut all sorts of pipe and strut with it too.
That treaded rod cutter is what's up guys game changer. I'm always cutting treaded rod with my bandsaw and always checking with a nut. This would save some time and energy. clean cuts no metal shavings I would buy it this for sure 😎 with that non conductive fish tape you should do a video with 40%conduit fill 3/4 200ft run and 3 90 that would be enough proof. Buying something like that would be awesome!!! If it can really replace the steal fish tape.
Mate another great vid. Milwaukee get so many sales from your vids. I see it on your vid and I’m off down my local Milwaukee tool shop. And sometimes they have to go looking to see up the catalog because I’m asking about tools that have barely hit the market here in Oz. Keep up the great work.
The polyester fishtape has peaked my interest. I need the VCG to torture test it though before I buy. Shove it through some different size conduit, make it go through 360 degrees of bends, pull some wire with it, what's the tare strenth of the head or tape itself, is there anyway I can repair it if the head breaks off? That's is a plus metal has. Broke the head? Ok cut it and bend a new one.
But how well does the nylon fish tape crawl up inside a wall. I work LV and often find myself trying to go to the top of a wall from a hole I just made in the wall. It just doesn’t seem sturdy enough to get through the insulation.
Seems like a lot of new gear coming out I just hope they don't over price their stuff hope they keep it competitive and Vince get that guy at don't worry Nick said he'll pay for it with that you guys take care of your friends and families will catch you on your next video
Recently started apprenticing an electrician and i have to say i only buy milwaukee tools..not going to lie milwaukee has been upsetting the stud tapes do not have marks on each side and no magnet,(also have returned 2 in two weeks) that would be nice. My bits break up pretty fast..i really hate spending a couple dollars here and there replacing a milwaukee tool i buy them because iv always felt they were best, not so sure anymore. Recently turned 25 and had my second little girl. Hopefully milwaukee works just a little bit smarter and bring a good electrician line of tools..great vids keep em coming brother!
Tip from apprentice to apprentice: you can have your favourite brand (Milwaukee is mine too) but at the same time you have to know which company makes the superior tool. I love Milwaukee but almost all my bits are Dewalt because I know they make the best bits. Another good example are pliers again I love Milwaukee but I have Klein because they make arguably the best linesman plier. Thats just my two cents cheers
27 years in the Electrical trade .......I REALLY want to try that fish tape (I've never seen a nylon fish tape before.....((((( sad they didn't have a conduit set up to push it through with some offsets and a 90 so you could test it out.......I want to see what this nylon will do.
I resisted to accept Milwaukee when they came up with cordless drills and hand tools... Now I cannot think of anything else for replacements as I “fase-out” tools! They simply give you more for your money!
Good. I want to purchase one good hammardrill impact driver compo kit. Which one is the best milwaukee gen 3 fuel or makitha. You are one of the tools expert. Please suggest me good one. Gen3 impact driver one problum for chuck. That problum still or company clear that problem Thanks
Go gen3 fuel line; M18. I actually run m12 Gen 2 fuel, it's amazing, small and powerful. If you do heavy duty work go m18 fuel if you do medium to heavy duty then go m12. Cheers buddy.
@@najmudheen4290 you're welcome. I had makita for 8 years, they are good products, used to be much more durable, I bought a Brushless makita driver impact combo and the driver drill broke after 1 year of heavy use. I switched to Milwaukee fuel line ever since no looking back. I do cctv camera, access control and smart home automation installations
@@TheEffectofMaverick good, which one is the makitha line up cordless drill driver better one. I think makitha Xdt16 is one of the best imbact driver. I dont no which one is the makitha best combo kit
@VCG Construction for sure I will, yo thanks for the video Im going to look in to that non conductive fish tape definitely a must buy I'm an electrician I work with live wires a definite must get.
Some cool new tools for electricians and HVAC tech's. Betcha Kleinguy Jon and other VCG gang members jump all over those two tools. I wish the Waukee guy had a nut to prove that those threaded rods were nut ready, but I believe him, lol. Congrats on 66K subs Vince. Cheers!
If you're on the job site and you're using different sizes of rods changing it Everytime can be a time hassle, they should make one where you can just stick any type of rod in it and I'll adjust to it's size
I bought several Milwaukee cordless tool sets with ten batteries and all were defective. I spoke to Milwaukee and Home Depot who wants Milwaukee to recall their batteries. Have you heard about it?
From the West Coast, congrats 66k. Nonconductive wire puller, can it be pinched & pulled with wire puller pliers? You know line wire pliers have that pinched section near the pivot point.
The tape it rips off from Southwire simpull can go though corkscrews made out of 90s! Simpull is also hiviz yellow/green not black so it is easy to find.
Yo Vinny that cutter saves lots of time in the field, and specially no sparks and metal chips, means saving the eye. Moreover congrats on 66K, I was your 1,350th subscriber. With Nick Jimmy and the Cool gang it wouldn't have been possible
I have to do that at times myself, into a 480V panel. It's a Food factory, I can't just kill the power. I normally get another person at the panel to watch, which I have the front covered in Cardboard where I hope it deflects the Fish tape. It's worked for many years. But I'm going to look into this plastic tape role to use for times I need to fish to inside the panel. In fact I have another 4, 480V 3-Phase runs to do yet again soon.
I see that that new fuel sds max on the table in the back ground 🤔 I went to a Milwaukee contractors day event a couple of weeks ago. Just to put my hands on that new sds max drill and they didn't have it .The crazy thing is that it was actually on the sales flyer . So not only did they not have it on demo,(at a concrete tools supply house) they didn't even have it available for sale . I'll tell you I was pretty disappointed, cuz I would probably would have spent $1,000 with Milwaukee that day .
Kinga got a chubby from that fish tape. I just wonder how well it'll hold up to being pulled with your lines. Looks super flexible, but is it flexible enough to wrap around the handles of your lines so you don't have to grip it with the plyer grooves?
How well does the fish tape work when you are dealing with EMT with 90-degree bends and is filled with pre-existing wires? Because it is more flexible, is stiff enough to push through crowded EMT?
With that fish tape what happens when you get one stuck? Because I’ve got it stuck before and had to cut it off and make a new end? Like a regular steal one?
The fish tape is awesome!!! But I wish a company would finally make a powered cordless of course and a Milwaukee fan preferably M12 powered fish tape. Every electrician knows those how awesome a 250ft tape is but they also know how big of a pain in the ass it is to unroll and roll back up.
Love the videos !! Everytime I see the intro and I see the Samsung display for Costco I keep thinking how cool would it be if you guys came to Canada to do ours!!! Lol Awesome stuff loving all the videos!
WHAT ABOUT WHEN POLEYESTER FISH TAPE BREAKS IS THERE A KIT TO FIX AND IS IT EXPENSIVE, ALSO HOW WELL DOES IT FISH THREW CONDUIT WHEN IT IS FULL WITH WIRES AND CAN YOU FISH A FISH TAPE WITH POLYESTER IN CONDUIT
I’ll leave the electrician tools to someone else but pretty awesome stuff! Great vid as always! ON a Milwaukee Tools note my HD removed all their displays and end caps designated for Milwaukee???! just off season end of promotional deals? They still have Milwaukee section in tools but lack combos, etc. 🤔
A good vinyl fish tape is a plumbers tool too brother! Out here in California I use it to find manifolds and shit all the time for re routes and slab leaks
@@VCGConstruction that's to bad it looks like a great tool. They had the platform to show it off and should have taken full opportunity. I appreciate your input. I'm a new subscriber and really enjoy all your content!
I've never really understood the point of those threaded rod cutters. I cut a fair amount of it and I just use a cordless band saw. M12's are lightweight easy to use one handed, and have other purposes other than just rod. And 9/10 times, their good the first time, occasionally I have to run a dye over them if it slips the threads, but its not that big of a deal or all that common in my opinion.
They’ve been making that non conductive fish tape exactly the way Milwaukee’s made it. Not the thread cutter I’ve never seen something like that, pretty fucking cool tbh.
Their new powered fishtape is cool but I really want to test one. Its one of those things they advertise as so great it can pull 200lbs. But I feel the feeding will be shitty. Really can't wait to get my hands on it at work. And surprised milwaukee missed the handle feature for rolling up the fish again. I've seen a few ideal ones with it where its a handle on the side that pops out to reel up faster. The threaded rod cutter is meh. Cool idea but seems pointless to me. Just another tool to carry and use when a bandsaw already solves the issue of cutting rod and has multiple uses like cutting conduit as well. Theres the odd place where the rod cutter might be handy but even then a bandsaw still usually works fine. We got their new 10ton crimper at work recently and again its cool, but I even emailed them about it, which I was surprised to get a reply. It has some cool features to it but compared to a greenlee crimp which we use all the time. its just way too fucking heavy. Even if the weight is balanced where a greenlee crimp is not balanced. The greenlee is lighter where it doesn't matter you can compensate for it with wrist strength relatively easy. I spent 2 hours just doing grounding crimps with the new milwaukee and i found my arm was getting tired because its so much more heavier. The logging of each crimp is cool, and the centre line markings on the dies is a great feature. But with something that heavy no thanks. Its a deal breaker for me. and the no auto release. One great feature with the greenlee is you crimp and once its done it releases so you can go onto the next crimp without pressing something. and when some lugs need 4 crimps it does save time. The company I work for is huge and we have a milwaukee rep just designated to our company so we do get a lot of their tools to test as we do with greenlee as well. I know when greenlee came out with their electric gator knock out punches we were given 5 of them on our site to use and the rep told us use them and let us know what you think. So its only a matter of time before we see the auto fish at work. Will say their vacuum hammer drill thing is the cats ass haha
Rod cutter is cool but any pipe runner should be able cut rod clean with band saw. The true test for any fish tape is two sets of short 60 offsets with a 30 kick into a 90 turn 200ft 3/4 pipe

How to you get a new tip on the non conductive fish tape? People usually cut the steel fish tape and bend it to make a head.

Good question, I wonder if it would compromise the coating?!?!
Good luck trying to get that fish tape around a few 90s
Alabaster right ? I was just thinking the same I would of loved it if they made one fiberglass instead just like ideal one
We should test it!!
You should ! It doesn't seem like it would be rigid enough imo @@VCGConstruction

@@VCGConstruction against the Klein 56056 as well!!!
Those nonconductive fishtapes are also great in aluminum rigid conduit. The metal fishtapes bind up in the offsets & 90s.

Hey Vince I have Kline greenlee all brands I work it all my tools is Dewalt and I’ve work rigid,Milwaukee and Mikita for me is dewalt
Awesome cuz!!
Kline?
You mean Klein
What tool do you recommend the shop in my drill tips
Be nice if it was more rigid in the beginning to get through a newly drilled holes it might keep getting jammed up till it gets through the hole
Can you review the Milwaukee fish sticks?
Can it go as far as a normal fish in pipes?..
And if it can, " something i doubt " , how much more does it cost than a regular one?
Anybody ever use one of these? How does it fish through pipe with saddles and 90's
Poly fishtape goes through 90s and saddles like butter. The only disadvantage is its rated for 300 lbs if force
Is that polyester tape going to be stiff enough to fish it up a wall? I didn't look like it.
That fish tape is nice it can make it up a wall.

how? thanks

Will say their vacuum hammer drill thing is the cats ass haha
Milwaukee tools all the way, M18 baby. Really the best there is out there
Shout out from Ireland
They need to make milwaukee hard hats!
Boyd Tsosie There’s a guy selling two of them on eBay, or are you go the cheaper route and get a red heart head and put a white vinyl decal on it...
@@thetruth5210 hey! I'll definitely look into it on Ebay, thanks!

Question how many psi are you pushing on the cutter
just great
Phenomenal video , or should i say very COOL video ;)
Thanks Oscar!
Im not an electrician I actually hate electrical work with all my heart and soul but damn those tools are so cool
Ps: im a rough and finish carpenter
I would love to try that fish tape
Slick
I just got the fish tape the other day but haven’t used it
The polyester?
Yup and used it now and it great tape ...
Runpotec in Germany has been making this fish tape for years
Nice
I need that tread rod cutter
Rod cutter is cool but any pipe runner should be able cut rod clean with band saw. The true test for any fish tape is two sets of short 60 offsets with a 30 kick into a 90 turn 200ft 3/4 pipe
