A wire puller is a must-have tool for anyone working on an electrical installation or upgrade.

What is a wire puller?

Much like its name suggests, wire pulling tools are devices that are for drawing electrical cables and wires through difficult spaces. Depending on the type of tool you need, you'll be able to pull cables through conduits in tight areas where a hand can't fit. Or perhaps the project requires a lengthy section of wiring to be installed?

A wire puller brings much-needed flexibility to the job. No matter if you're installing cabling up a wall or through ceiling cavities, the right tool can save you a lot of time. Once installed, it's also often necessary to ensure your wiring is kept neat, tidy and organized for future use. So, that's why you can find the ideal accessories to complete the job your wire pulling tool starts.

How do wire pullers work?

It isn't just the tight spaces that wire pullers can help you navigate. Sometimes, the cumulative amount of wiring involved can be heavy. Again, it depends on the type of tool you either buy or need. The premise, however, is the same. Your cable is attached to fish tape or a pull wire, and this is what guides your cable through its conduit.

For some jobs, extra lubricant can also help.

The fish tape or pull wire is pushed through the conduit until it reaches the other end. Here, the next step is to attach your electrical cable. Pull it through either by hand or with a power source to the point at which you inserted your wire puller. This not only returns your tool to its starting point, but - more importantly - it brings with it the cable that you wanted installed.

What wire pulling tool do you need?

You'll need to first think about the force you need a wire pulling tool to exert. This would be determined by the weight of your cable in the first instance. But the length of the installation and space in which you're operating will also need to be thought about.

For smaller projects, you'll probably find that a fish tape wire puller is more than enough to get the job done. Made with either steel or fiberglass, this wire pulling tool makes light work of any domestic or commercial installation.

If you are working in a particularly difficult area, meanwhile, a telescoping wire puller will offer the additional reach you may need. It works just as you'd expect any other wire pulling tool to. Its main difference is that it features a telescoping arm as part of its construction.
