Lwillis Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I've got a fishtape, it looks similar its useless for long runs as it coils back on itself and you usually end up with a loop of it about 4m away in the void Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 I think it's designed for vertical fishing i.e up plasterboard, I'd still use rods for long horiztontal stuff.

norman Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I always used to wrap insulating tape round my ceiling fitters wire etc, used to cringe @ live mains in ceilings / voids etc. eta, that **** also reminds me of the coil in a tape measure, like a wild rattles with a razor body. Having said that I suppose your OK JW? Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistle Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I once put my hand in a void to grab a cable that I had pushed up from another void. I managed to grab hold of a 30amp JB with no lid on it. It almost knocked me off the top of the step ladders I was stood on at the time, my god it hurt.

Rulland Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I always wear decent gloves when putting my hand into 'unknown' voids, I'm suprised anyone does anything less these days, sharps, glass, not funny what some people put somewhere tbh, risk assessments and all that.

whistle Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) This was in a warehouse we where working in last week. The radio blasting out Bollywood classics was on the end of it. I switched it off as soon as I seen it. Edited September 26, 2014 by whistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 You got it yet? Or slow post I only ordered it last night! I once put my hand in a void to grab a cable that I had pushed up from another void. I managed to grab hold of a 30amp JB with no lid on it. It almost knocked me off the top of the step ladders I was stood on at the time, my god it hurt. I know someone that did that on a 45A non-RCD protected bodged up shower circuit. Well I did know him.

Paul P Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Used To use Something like this in austrailia for fishing up the cavity walls so it can't be that new. Did work a treat though. Never saw one rolled up as they were already on the van when I got it. Quote Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlarmScot Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 image.jpg This was in a warehouse we where working in last week. The radio blasting out Bollywood classics was on the end of it. I switched it off as soon as I seen it. Gosh that is dam dangerous, I was at a site few weeks ago and the Fire Officer actual Shut place down. The company employed Polish and etc to pick and pack uniforms and we had to go in and Install a Fire System, Fire Fighting Equipment and Fire Doors. They had Extension Cable Running everywhere. I noticed Scottish Power had put a Tag on meter as looked like they tried to by-pass meter at one stage. To be honest I never put my hand into a unknown void and we have same sort of item but it called String! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
