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

I think it's designed for vertical fishing i.e up plasterboard, I'd still use rods for long horiztontal stuff.

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

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?

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

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 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.

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.
