Pulling wire in and out of boxes can be a real pain. Even worse, it often takes a team of multiple workers to complete the task. Luckily, Rack-A-Tiers has developed three simple tools that make wire pulling a one-man job, saving you time and money!

In this post we’ll look at two brand new wire pulling tools from Rack-A-Tiers and one proven wire pulling device, the All American Pull Buddy, that has been helping electricians pull wire easily for years.

The two new guys on the scene are the PulLee and the Wire Vortex.

The PulLee
Part# 41100

The PulLee

This stainless steel wire pulling roller will turn an awkward, frustrating wire pulling job into a smooth and controlled pulling sprint.

The roller has a spring-loaded tip on one end that allows you to easily and quickly insert it into your electrical box. Both tips of the PulLee are sized perfectly to fit into those little holes on each side of the electrical box.

Once in place, you can pull your wire in or out of the box, using the steel roller to support the wire. This protects the wire from getting damaged on the rough edge of the box. It also positions the wire in a straight line, making it easy to pull the wire in and out of the box hole.

The Wire Vortex
Part# 40001

The Wire Vortex

With its amazing design, the Wire Vortex can facilitate wire pulling from almost any direction into or out of your electrical box. Other than a small gap that allows you to insert and remove your wire from it, you can pull your wire in any direction using the 360 degree inside edge.

The Wire Vortex fits perfectly on a 4” square box. With holes on all four feet, you can easily slip it on to two or more screws and lock it snug into place.

It works with deep boxes or shallow boxes. Just use the smaller side for shallow boxes and then flip it for deeper boxes.

All-American Pull Buddies
Part# 42000

The All American Pull Buddy

Like it reads in our catalog, the All American Pull Buddy turns one pair of hands into an entire “crew”! These nifty little plastic shoe horns slip tightly into the holes on your electrical box, protecting your wire and making your pull way smoother.

The device comes in 1/2” (blue), 3/4″ (red), and 1” (white) sizes, meaning you can use it in any situation.

If pulling wire from one side of the box to the other side, slide in two Pull Buddies and make the transition flawless. These little helpers come in packs of all one size or in multi-packs with two of each size.

Rack-A-Tiers Has Your Wire Pulling Taken Care Of

The next time you have some wire pulling ahead of you, take one, two, or all three of these innovative tools with you and cut your time (and effort) in half. Stop draining your man-hours by using two men to make these pulls.

Rack-A-Tiers Fuels Growth with Acquisition of Speedway Electrical Products

Rack-A-Tiers Specialty Electrical Tools

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

December 13, 2011 – Rack-A-Tiers Mfg. Inc. announced today that they have entered a definitive agreement to purchase all rights, existing inventory, and intellectual property of the non-metallic cable support system manufacturing company, Speedway Electrical Products, for an undisclosed sale price. The acquisition will add Speedway Electrical Products’ cable support system to Rack-A-Tiers already expansive line of innovative and time saving electrical tools and solutions.

Over prior years, the non-metallic cable support systems from Speedway have changed the way that electrical contractors install basement cabling. The product allows for quick and easy installation, reduces the structural damage normally caused from drilling through joists, requires no gluing, and can reduce home run length by up to 30% in some cases. The product is mostly used in the North Eastern United States where basements are most common.

“Buying up Speedway was an obvious choice for us,” says Rack-A-Tiers President and Founder, Ken MacLachlan. “Speedway has been a strong supplier to Rack-A-Tiers with a product that electrical contractors prefer over competing products or substitutes. Bringing the production and distribution process into the Rack-A-Tiers system will only benefit and simplify things for our customers as we now have full control over the process.”

Throughout 2011, Rack-A-Tiers introduced over 25 new products to their catalog which already boasted a thorough gathering of the most innovative solutions in the electrical industry today. Powered by the ideas of hundreds of professional electricians working in the field every day, Rack-A-Tiers has gained a reputation for developing tools and products that solve real problems that electrical contractors face during every job.

Product Spotlight: Lift-n-Lok Tool Box

The Lift-n-Lok Tool Box

Stay organized with this locking tool box.

Are you a bad driver? When you finally get to the job site and open your van, does it look like a tornado went through all your hand tools, power tools, screws and gadgets? If so, you just might benefit from the Lift-n-Lok Tool Box.

Having said all that, even if you are a great driver, you could definitely save some time and energy with the Lift-n-Lok Tool Box.

One of the most innovative tool boxes in the construction world, the Lift-n-Lok is designed to keep all of your hand tools, medium sized power tools, screws, connectors, and other items securely in place no matter what happens to your Lift-n-Lok Tool Box.

Locking Device not Found on other Tool Boxes

Locking Tool Box

Pull handle forward to lock.

Look at this tool box – it has three different sized drawers in it and one large upper bin ontop of the tool box. Each drawer has an unlimited number of adjustable compartments – you can have just a few large compartments or have several smaller compartments.

The real magic, though, happens when you swing the tool box handle back and forth. If you have the handle placed to the back, all of the drawers and the upper bin will open with ease. However, if you swing the handle to the front, the entire tool box locks into place.

When locked, none of the drawers will open. Because of the way the interior of the drawers are designed, you can flip, roll, kick, or toss your Lift-n-Lok Tool Box and all of your hand tools or other items will stay in the same compartments you put them in.

Lightweight and Durable

So many tool boxes out there are clunky, heavy, and awkward to move around. Even worse, some tool boxes are still made out of heavy steel! The Lift-n-Lok Tool Box is made of lightweight, heavy-duty plastic, making it a cinch to handle.

Tool Box with Hand Tools

Many, many compartments!

Hang on to Your Hand Tools!

Hand tools are expensive and you know we need to save money wherever possible in this tight economy. Using the Lift-n-Lok, you have an easy way to stay organized and avoid losing hand tools, other devices, or even medium to small power tools.
