Grabber Wire Puller
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).
