Cable bullet winding

[ddobb]

Has anyone ever come up with a way to stop a second or third pull with the same pull string from winding around the first pull. It seems I can only get 3 before I need to pull a new string? I never feed string with the pull, only the cable. I also keep the bucket far to the front or side to keep the drag string out of the main part of the trunk.

Thanks all

I always pull a new string with each pull. Jet cord is cheap.

Just my $.02

Well it all depends on where you might be pulling cable at. In a tray setup i have a piece of heavy gauge wire bent to hold the string to the side of the bundle. In a over head cieling pull i have a spring loaded attachment to keep the string from the bundle but it lets you pull through j hooks or bridle rings.

How does that spring loaded contraption work? I would really like find a better way to pull through j hooks. Lately I have just been pulling all runs outiside of the j's then laying them in and dressing back after all the runs are completed.

I have been laying them up afterwards also.

On a couple open area jobs with the main runs straight, I used pulleys on both ends with the pull string as a loop & tie the head onto the bottom.

Just like the old clothes lines on the upper floors of buildings.
