Re: [AFMUG] Counduit pull cable
Mule tape is best, pull another run of it with the cable that way the next run takes the same path.

Re: [AFMUG] Counduit pull cable
IMO ?Mule tape is good stuff. The nylon pull string in the bucket is better suited for short runs up walls, etc. So small it tears up your hands unless you're using some sort of winch.

Re: [AFMUG] Counduit pull cable
Muletape is reusable. It has footage markers on it. I like to use a light weight string with a baggie on the end. Suck it through with a vacuum cleaner. Then pull back the muletape. Use that for pulling the cable. Do you have the grips/socks chinese finger pull devices to grab the cable? Much better than a series of half hitches that get hung up on everything.

Re: [AFMUG] Counduit pull cable
You might find cable grips in the Klein tools display in the electrical section at Home Depot, but an electrical supply house (or online) will have more choices of size and type.

Re: [AFMUG] Counduit pull cable
Price of mule tape varies quite a bit depending on pull strength, also whether
there are foot markings.

Re: [AFMUG] Counduit pull cable
buy your chinese fingers /cable grips from primus or local wireless
telecom supply house, much cheaper and more available sizes than Home Depot.
