Yes, seems like a $99 tool though and not $1600. OK, maybe for $199.

I want to know how the guy got his hard hat to ride on the box that tool comes in. For $1600 does the box have a hat hook on it?

And a camera is waiting on site, only person working, tool box looks relatively clean while rest of vehicle is filthy. I could see the helmet making from beginning of driveway to stopping point. Probably don’t sell many, that is why its priced high. Cooler than vacuum, some pistons or plastic bag scrap tied to end of cord.

For that price,I'll stick to my cordless shop vac and $5 roll of twine for conduit runs that are longer than my 125' fiberglass fish tape!
It is pretty cool though.

It is pretty cool though. Agreed. Pretty cool tool but definitely not worth $1600. Plus that string looks like you could only pull 1 cable on it.

Assuming the conduit was done right, there's supposed to be a way to pull cable every 50' and the bends from end to end aren't supposed to exceed 180 degrees, IIRC.
I'll stick with my vacuum- it has never let me down.

vacuum and a free Home Depot bag gets the job done for free but won't look as cool!

Cool.
Not $1,600 cool though.
Nor will it get that bundle of Cat through the kinked conduit that it just fired a pull string through.

Cool tool. Probably only worth $1600 to people who have to get a lot of pull string in place. Not something i personally need. The longest pull i have had to do in years is 75' and that was once like 4 years ago. Usually i am within 35 feet at a cabinet+TV location so a $25 fish tape is a better fit.
