I just pulled a 75' fiber optic HDMI cable through 50' of conduit with 4 x 90 degree bends, running through a finished wall. The conduit already contained a Cat6 cable and an audio cable. I didn't have Tom on the other end, but my wife was able to handle it. The last time I ran the Cat6 cable through this conduit, I had to break the conduit about halfway through the run to get it through - the basement was unfinished at that time, so I had access. I dreaded this job for months, and figured it would be hours of swearing and pulling and possibly ruining the cable. After prepping the pull ropes and cable we got it done in a half hour, being SUPER cautious not to pull too hard on the F.O. cable. Why didn't someone tell me about this before???!!! THANK YOU!
Yeah, I liked everything except the knots used. He should probably use a Sheet bend to attach to the pull rope; you don't want it coming loose while pulling. A "man harness" would perhaps be better for the loop in the bight, though the one he used wasn't terrible, since it can't come loose as used.
All that for one cable 🤦🤦🤦 If your cable pull is so difficult that you have to apply that much lubricant it means you haven’t sized your tube correctly for the amount of bends and cables in the run.

Long suffering Tom. Thanks for the tip 7 years later from 2020.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video
Only true professionals can do all that without a drop of lubricant on their white shirts. Kudos.

They're seperating the men from the girls.

Nice video.
Paul's getting a little too excited about that rag.
"Pull it Tom!"
Good tip thx.
Next up, an ad for rubber gloves...
Way too much lube, one pass is all you need. 3?
Someone wasn't listening when he explained the reason for that. If you're going to be a critic, don't you think you should at least pay attention?
A granny knot?
