October 2004 Products of the Week

Oct. 4, 2004
EC&M's editors' picks for products of the week

Hands-free wire lubrication system






















Available in five packages, the SoaperMonkey hands-free system deposits lubrication directly onto all types of wire pulls, including vertical up, vertical down, and horizontal. A three-speed pump motor powers the system and allows for the proper amount of lubrication to be applied based on conduit size and pulling speed. The system fits any size of threaded or non-threaded conduit and comes with a one- or five-gallon pump that works with all brands of lubricant, except those with silicone balls. It also features a 12VDC battery, 12VDC charger, and carrying case.

Fish tape extender
















With a side-entry lock design, the Another 90 (A90) attaches to the end of fish tape and rolls when it comes in contact with inner pipe wall, eliminating almost all of the resistance encountered in the bend or radius of a pipe. It’s constructed of Derlin and Teflon, and it’s available with two roller sizes that cover 0.75-in. to 4-in. pipes. Both sizes can be attached to a 0.125-in. fish tape.
