@cltpython It's not necessarily about this tool, but instead what you and your drill handle. A typical 18V cordless drill set to its lowest speed can pull at least 400 ft lbs of torque. Try using the Wire Tension Pull Calculator for Curved Duct Section found at to see how many conductors/bends you can pull at 400 ft lbs. Nevertheless, even if you're only using this for mid-size jobs, isn't the benefit of saving your hands worth it?
@cltpython Sorry but YouTube wouldn't let me put the Wire Tension Pull Calculator link in my comment above. I was however able to add it to the video's description above. Just click on "see more." cc: @RideTTD2003
thats a really good idea! i'm not sure it would work in my field of work though, I'm a traffic signal electrician, and pull up to 25 wires (3-cond. and higher) through a 3-inch conduit. Not sure if the drill would have enough torque.
when I saw the picture I thought it was some kind of lightsaber

@SchaedlerYesco I think you mean 400 Inch lbs and not ft lbs A drill that strong would be Massive

nice for pulling 4 catV wires(3C) thru a 2" run w/2 quarter bends TOTAL. try it with some REAL pipe fill.

Perfect! Now we'll be pulling data wire in no time!
