      I use a 36 Volt Makita leaf blower, gets a string tied to a plastic bag through a cable-pipe 100m long in about 5 seconds, 30 seconds if the pipe is full of water.
      By FAAAAR the best tool I have ever bought and it wasnt even expensive, like 150€? Has saved so much time.

      Yeah I’d rather vacuum a bag in 1-2 minutes over 1500ft instead of tossing for an hour.. what work harder. I’ve had so many long runs that a toddler just wouldn’t get through. I slap a shop vac on and toss in a plastic bag and it’s through in 30 seconds. Mind you I was the 2nd tech out there to pull a drop so it was probably 6 hours total of 3 techs rodding a 300ft conduit. Work smarter not harder..

    That was one of the biggest duh moments my first week doing commercial electric. I was genuinely confused as to how we were going to get several hundred yards of wire from point a to point b so I asked. My boss pulled out an old beat up shop vac, a sponge, and a fresh role of white string.

      Why would he use a sponge? They can easily get stuck and would have to fish it out with some fish tape to try it over again. A plastic bag is light and with pulled by the vacuum it expands perfectly around the conduit making no air escape and pulls extremely easy.
