Cable-pulling lubricant
SP spray lubricant is concentrated, so only a thin film is needed for immediate tension reduction. The lubricant can be applied on the cable to coat the jacket or injected directly into a conduit via several spraying methods. Designed to reduce or eliminate fish tape use, it reduces friction even as it dries and becomes less visible. It does not stain, and its spray bottle allows the user to avoid hand contact.

Fish tape
According to the company, the Tuff-Grip Pro fish tape is lighter, stronger, and easier to carry than its predecessor. The fish tape's ergonomic handle is 30% wider than the previous model and provides a secure grip for better control, greater pulling strength, and easier rewinding. Its case is designed to simplify the process of installing replacement tapes, while the full-perimeter handle reduces the intake of dirt and moisture. Its Tuff-Cuff tape-retaining feature keeps tape properly positioned in the opening.
