  • Holy crap will that save so much time, where can I buy one?

  • @MGiants82 CLICK THE SHOW MORE BUTTON AND THERE IS A URL TO WHERE TO PURCHASE - THX

  • You can use the pull string and fish tape way. The rich people tool is just a labor saver.

  • It's a big move! These get mostly sold for residential installations and some commercial but not as much.

  • This really is impressive. We need to get ourselves one of these!

  • I NEVER KNEW! Gotta' get me one of those! I'm tired of my crappy 300N+ wireless!

  • Wow great info and product, Thanks

  • @cochise7969 Thanks, I meant to say that will save me so much time.

  • Wow a very clever idea

  • In NZ (and also in Australia too - as we have joint Aust/NZ Electrical Wiring "standards") ... it is a requirement - that ALL down wall cable installs ... are RUN .. down the exact centre .. of both Dwangs & fibreglass batts .. such that the cable - is as far as practicable .. AWAY from any later - client driven "Picture_Frame" or Shelving screws & fixing nails - or "lining" support / fixing nails etc. (Thus effectively reducing ANY accidental Electrical shorting .. by having cables pierced)

  • @cochise7969 ... by "drilling" that close to the drywall LINING -- you also run the severe risk -- of some silly person (later- probably even yourself) banging Picture Hanging NAILS - through the drywall (AND THUS - through the cabl;e thats NOW against that drywall lining .. thus livening the picture hook .. that you "now" somehow WANT to touch (& frazzle yourself to death with)

  • @freakyflow Oh - U think "that's tough .. Try Central Otago "shist" rock .. (two foot thick - solid rock walls - often just with MUD mortar - others with concrete mortar .. ALL stones laid horizontal .. (such that it's like feeding steak to Sharks - with a toothpick - almost an impossibility)
