Lol I wish I had seen this before,I'm an apprentice and was trying to run wire but got it twisted beyond belief. Needless to say that won't happen again. Thanks for the video!
@@frankcarr2227 my journeyman asked “you got it?” And I was like “well hell naw” and he was like “you’ll get a hang of it sometime” and I was thinking in my head Bruh you really not gonna show me how to do it? Dafuqqq
@@frankcarr2227 bro swear to god there is something in these journeymen that want us to make mistakes that they could’ve easily prevented if they thought us beforehand
In times of fiest or famine. Even the old timers aren’t immune to there cages being rattled to a new young up an comer. Needless to say if your really hungry for the trade. Most people can’t communicate what they want without screaming. So the way they look at it is ahh been there. Now is his turn. Me personally I like being motivated in circumstances like this. But yeah that’s why OSHA’s around
The first tip about not making a project out of anything you do was probably the best, simplest and most profound thing I can teach my helper's and apprentices. You should post more vids man. Nice to see spark's with good and useful info.
For a long pull or when you are working in a confined space laying it down in a figure 8 works much better than a oval. Great video sadly this was probably the most challenging and frustrating task when i started out.
First of all, don't take off the plastic wrap. Poke a big hole in the middle of it and take the coils from the inside. That way you can just toss it in the truck.
That may be true but I was taught to do it this way. I wired a lot of houses this way. Regardless I believe the fundamentals of the technique are good to know because, as I mentioned, this method can also apply to larger cables that typically would not fit on a spinner.
so if you are running a length to lights on the deck about 100 ft total with 15 ft between lights, would you run all the wire at one time and make your cuts or would you run each 15 ft section and then lay out the next and on ? For a beginner ? Thanks
In that case rolling out the whole length may get a bit messy. If your lights are 15 feet apart I would probably only roll out enough for 3 at a time, so about 45 feet. Anything more may get unmanageable unless you have a lot of room to uncoil it.
If lay it out on the ground is the right way, what's the wrong way? Literally the first 1/2 (3 minutes) of this video before you give us this miracle way to uncoil wire by uncoiling it.

Why didn't your journeyman show you how to do it? In my opionhe or she is at fault not you!

Thanks. My dad was an excellent electrician and he taught me well.

1:48 squirrel? Video bomb
This video should have been 30 seconds long but thanks for showing
First time I’ve seen uncoil cable correctly
My costar. We live in the woods so there's tons of the little buggers.
first off, never step on the wire. one rock or pebble can puncture a hole in the insulation.. causing big problems at trim if it short circuits.
You are exaggerating lol never heard of that by any of the old timers that show me this trade
Nice tips, thanks.
Don't let that chipmunk get ya!

That’s not good for long runs, wire ends up looking ugly, unprofessional.
@@ThePoxo123 The roll of wire inside your truck looks ugly? For very long runs you should take the wrap off yes.
@@wesgore8016 not inside

@@wesgore8016 there is better ways than that buddy
Thank you 👍
chipmunk video bomb.
There’s ideal conditions somewhere? I never get em.
That definately works.
Cool way never seen it done ✅ that way
You made a hobby out of it. Get a wire spinner like a real pro.
What if the wire does not stay straight? I did exactly what you did and the wire curled up again.
I learned this the hard way. Wish I'd watched this video first. But seriously, it tales 6 minutes to explain this?
This might be fine for a diyer, but if you have a lot to pull, just go buy a spinner or make one.
That may be true but I was taught to do it this way. I wired a lot of houses this way. Regardless I believe the fundamentals of the technique are good to know because, as I mentioned, this method can also apply to larger cables that typically would not fit on a spinner.
twoweary my company uses this method everyday. No actual need for a spinner. Yes, they are convenient but this way works just fine.
Spinner is the way to go. Started using one recently and wish I had it sooner
Sorry man, that Chipmunk upstaged ya. Chip or Dale ?
Bruh just use a Romex spinner 🤣🤣
Good idea but why not just pull from the inside of the coil and placing the coil about 20 feet from the start of a roll
This video should have been one minute long!
Very logic but I got lazy to do a big distance 😅😮😊

Dont step on the wire
Aka Pai he just fucked his wire up jajaja who needs nice looking wire in the walls right?

Another easy helpful hint for removing Romex staples for remodels and/or wire plant maintenance:

The LONGEST Video in the WORLD. Man do you talk your wife to sleep? Or is she Deaf?
What? What? She Said!
3 mins into the video you still hadn't gotten to the point so I went to make a sandwich, came back and still not to the point.
LOL 🤣
LOL 🤣
REALLY?
Dude most pulls in medium houses are 60+ foot. So, this video is ridiculous and you should never step on the wire.
6 minutes...
Just get a reel and put the wire on it, no need for this
This could have been done it under two minutes. WAY too long. Get to the point.
