There's nothing else like our new "Grabber" wire puller on the market. It'll lock onto any wire or cable and handle whatever force you put on it. It consists of a cone-shaped puller with a sliding ring on it. The ring has a 1/2-in. wide slot in it. You slip the wire or cable through the slot, rotate the ring a half turn, and then, as you pull on the unit, the ring locks down on the wire.
I got the idea while watching my grandson play baseball. He had a bat with weight rings on it. I picked up the bat and there was a twig stuck under one of the weights. When I tried to pull it out, the ring locked down on it. The next day I was putting up some fencing and decided to adapt the idea to pulling wire. I made the first one out of wood and it worked great right away. Now we make them out of tough ductile steel. It's 7 in. long and will pull cable up to 1/2 in. dia. Sells for $15 ($3 S&H).
