Prysmian Cable In a Box cr!p

[dksanders]

Anybody successfully managed to use a box of Prysmian T&E boxed cable? They don't tape the end of the cable to the outside of the box so you have to fish for it which usually ends up destroying the box. Anybody know how to do it?

I picked it up before doing the kitchen fit out... can't believe I've waited this long before getting one.

I recently bought one a few days ago.
Best £20 I've ever spent!
And 5 free crocodile clips.. no idea what they're for but they're there if an emergency for them comes up

Seen one of these made. Thought it was a piece of engineering genius.

However the 5 hours I would have spent building one probably out weighs the £15 saved

only took me an hour. and i'd got nothing chargeable on that day anyway.

However I've used steel conduit once
By once I mean one piece of conduit in college
Have no conduit bender or dies
Maybe a project for another day.
I do love a good home made problem solver.

• Yep we used to make them up on site when needed. Got to admit though, I prefer my folding one.

Mines bright yellow & chrome. Some thieving git nicked the cable bar, so I repurposed a length of chrome pipe I found on site.

Not sure if I'd be more annoyed with the innconvience of the most important bit being stolen or that some theiving little toerag thought I'd be acceptable to take something that isn't theirs.

It's one of the joys of working on a big site with other trades mate, you have to have eyes in your butt.
If you want to keep your tools, keep your eyes open & never lend them out.

Good luck. Don't even let my boss or the other lad at work borrow my tools never mind some other random trade
