Southwire makes some great tools
Simpull has been one of the most innovative line of products in any trade
Chevy Chase and Andrew "Squiggy" Squiggman. Looks like a great fish tape!
They have a 3mm and your review was on the 4.5mm version.. comparison of stiffness, ie: ability to push 3mm vs 4.5mm version thru long runs.. and also have metal lead vs non-conductive connection..
I have been waiting for this video.I love Southwire!!! Went through 3 rolls of there 14-2 today
“Cool the wires down” 😂😂😂
Glad y'all did a review on this, Keep up the good work!!
ty
southwire is awsome. great products.
Great review guys! It's nice to see some "in action" compared to the more recent "inaction". How about a Friday night tool fight? Oh, and thats a nice snake!
that's pretty impressive
Chevy Chase and Charlie Brown...love the reviews..
Great test
may have to look into one of these, gonna be pulling lots of wire and cable thru an RV this spring. looks like it would be really handy to have, #tiacrew
I bought this fishtape for all the reasons everybody raves about, but it has one BIG problem nobody seems to address. For me, the flexible leader always gets stuck trying to push this tape thru usually the last bend in a long run. When you're that far out, you can jiggle and pullback and push thru all you want, but the flex leader is crumpled up or bent in the bend and doesn't go thru. I've resorted to a my trusty steel tape for long runs because I can't get the sim tape to push thru. If anybody has a fix or trick for this - I'm all ears....I love it otherwise, much easier to operate for sure, but no much use if you can't push it thru the other side.
Seen that at lowes the other day and it looks nice and I wish I can get one but I have a Klein already and it fairy new
Tools in action!!!
How does it work when all the bends are say 10ft apart... The longer lengths those fishtapes lose rigidity
Nice job guys. The Southwire looks like it went through easily. #TIACREW
Really nice fish tape! Definitely picking one up. Thanks for the video #tiacrew
Guys just wanted to let you know that these fish tapes are great, I mean when you get the original ones which are Canfor Products. This company tried to imitate, without duplicating, the exceptional performance of Canfor Products. www.canforproducts.com. You buy what you pay for, and Canfor Products super performers are priced very competitively!
do they make one with a small plastic leader as well? I've only seen them with big fatty plastic ones
Not sure, you can check out their website.
I haven't found this at Lowes I found the non conductive 125ft one
Hey Dan! Eric doesn't need more cookies anyways ;) Great vid as always #tiacrew
Is this better then Klein
Nice video
not long enough. well thought out!
How does this operate with feeding through already packed conduits?
The same if not better than comparable tapes

definitely way to flexible. I'll stick to my greenlee. Rust on a fish tape is standard and never effected any of the pulls I've been on. also not allowed to have more than 180° in a run unless you have a pull box, so your test seems a little silly.
360 degrees is standard per all recent iterations of the NEC, maybe you are talking about a utility standard or something? Also there is nothing I am aware of in the NEC that says you can't pull straight through a pull box, I have pulled through 720 degrees for the sake of speed, using tension meter on the supertugger to make sure I am not stressing the wire, and regularly pull through more than 360 for smaller hand pulls.
This product may not be super useful for whatever you do, but for a commercial remodel electrician, I would definitely give this product a shot. Looks especially useful for pulling through packed data riser conduits where steel tape would mess up fragile network wiring, and more rigid fiberglass tapes jam up in the clusterfuck of existing wires.
Tapelegs nope, most everything in VA and W. VA that I've ran has been 3/4" EMT and you gotta have a pull box per 180° in bends. and if I was the one bending that pvc, I wouldn't have bent them that tight. long story short, pulling through all those bends is just silly. also I've seen southwire fish tapes bust, while my 240' greenlee has handled manual pulls just fine.
Corey Shenk Wow, I never knew that. Here in washington some utillities limit you to 180 degrees going in between vaults and gear, but I had no idea there were jurisdictions that wont let you go above 180 for branch circuits. Seems like it would make piping a nightmare but you seem to get along well enough.
Corey Shenk NEC just limits to 360° degrees of bends before pull boxes. So is your 180° a specific job specification? That's pretty unreasonable. This test does make sense because if it goes through 720° that easy it'll make normal conduit runs that much easier.
Jordan mike it's job specific, just like our parallel runs, all wires have to be the same length because our engineer said so. Since we do lots of medium voltage, according to nec, (480,4160, etc.) we need serious fish tapes that won't bust when you go to pull stuff through. I could see how it'd make sense for smaller pipe pull, but larger than 2" is beyond me as to why anyone would use it.
nice
if you guys were electricians id fire you. We typically have flexible leaders on all our fishtapes..
Good thing we are RUclipsrs then.
very nice thanks for the review :) #tiacrew
What jacket is he wearing ?
Truework
Let's do a fish giveaway!!!
I could use that all day.. #tiacrew
cool
Nice tape is it made in USA 🇺🇸 and how hard is it to pull wire back with it? A lot of times when it gets difficult to pull you can grab a metal fishtape with a pair of lines man and pull. Can you do that with this tape? #KrugerFam #We❤️Tools #mondonation👤 #DamnYouJimboSlice #TIACREW #TonyVolts⚡️ #oztooltalk #ourbuild #🛠tooltoucher #glasseyi👁 #teamtoolpig #knarlycarl #rutterconstruction #DoYourBestWork #adefam✅ #TakePoint
cool but only 75'
They have varied Lengths
Tools In Action Ironically the day after I watched this I wish I had it... spent a night of pulling wire in conduit with too many 90s for low voltage sensors...not impressed
