I can also use it for bending and screwing conduit

I can get about 12 singles coils on it, which yours cant,so there

You should sell them Des. You could call it the Swiss Army Cable Jack.

I make my own out of two 25mm angle boxes and a cut off lenght of 25mm conduit. Cut four lenghts to equal size (say 20 inches), thread one end of each leg and screw them into the conduit boxes. drill a 25mm hole though the back of each box - and hay presto you have the legs!!! Now you can load up 25mm lenght of conduit with some cable reels and just push the 'legs' on at each end. You can even put a 20mm peice of conduit inside the 25mm peice for extra strenght.

Thread the ends and screw a couple of domed lids on better than stop ends.

I would add cable guides and cable drum breaks to smooth the cable feed off the drum.

i had a couple of basic things made up


a bit of tube and a wall bracket

i have to bolt them to wall - so they're only suitable for new work really
