Tricks for pulling wires

[Mixmaker]

Hello guys! I am a bit stuck with pulling wires through the wall. I am pulling new electrical cable to next room, cable are running behind ceiling plaster board, issue i am getting is that when i pull wire in the same route with other electrical wire, cable pulling rods hitting brick wall.What i have realised is that the cable route is "'snaky".What i mean is snaky: drilled holes in wood and wall are not on same way, one drilled hole 1 cm out.Could anybody tell me is there any tricks to pull this electrical cable?I know this cable has been pulled as new installation when house was already build.

Kind Regards!

well pete. we're well past pulling birds, so we might as well just pull cables.

I haven't pulled any wires for a while now, how about you Tel, last time it was some 5omm2

Just one more I think that's enough for now to much of a good thing, if you known what I mean

Ah yes @Pete999 youtube is the font of all knowledge! I see these yanks can't even be bothered to pull their own cables, I'm surprised it doesn't have a cup holder and a automatic gearbox.

@Pete999 you can't change your avatar. It's been like having the head teacher looking over the class - don't make me start a vote to reinstate Pete leaning against the kitchen counter with his birthday Tshirt on.

Done and dusted I'm afraid. But thanks anyway, I was fed up of that one anyway.

Cable sock on the end of the cable rod. The cable being taped to the side of the rod could be hitting the edge of the hole. Using the sock allows the cable to travel through the hole in the same route.Super Rod Super Grip Cable Connectors Pack 4-15mm 4 Pack - http://www.screwfix.com/p/super-rod-super-grip-cable-connectors-pack-4-15mm-4-pack/9302K?kpid=9302K&cm_mmc=Google-_-Product%2520Listing%2520Ads-_-Sales%2520Tracking-_-sales%2520tracking%2520url&gclid=CJby65jZ7dMCFQ5mGwodH5UGVQ&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CM-AoJnZ7dMCFewh0wodhZoDmg

@Leesparkykent those Chinese finger traps are a bit of genius. I've used them for years and would never go back to taping cables to rods. They also double up as a tea bag fisher and coffee stirrer when you get desperate!

I assume that this is in a house I would take floor up rather than make holes in a ceiling unless it is being all re-plastered as no matter how good made good you can always see the difference.

Do they never let go? I would always feel that a little bit of tape was needed 'just in case'!
