Cable reel stands

[chris gray]

gotta love it

I used mine to knock a rod in once

I use the original spoola for small drums of T+E, FP200 etc . Then the Thorsman one for armored drums it's a bit weighty to throw around on a rewire

Both sound and look excellent. Can anyone suggest the approximate weight and height of a folded up CableStik, as I'm wondering if I can be prepared to lug it about and I can't find it on the interweb. Plus I like the idea that the extra arm can be attached to roof joists, see CABLESTIK Multi-purpose Cable Dispensing System - Installs in Seconds - No Tools Required

CableStik is only £41 inc vat at the Edwardes Bros Website and if one also buys the extra arm for £18 inc vat the delivery is free.

Although the Spoola is only £26 inc vat at TLC at the moment Original Spoola Cable Carrier

Decisions decisions...

I have the drums on the floor kick the drum away and pull it back at the same time. All about the technique.

If I'm being lazy a hilmoor shortie with a length of cond clamped in the jaws and reels slid on that

Yeah, we always end up with a few of them on a big job. Cheaper than getting more cablestiks.
