Professional set of magnets for pulling wiring under drywall, corrugated or in pipes

In this article I showed how you can quickly stretch a wire in a corrugation or HDPE pipe using a rope and a vacuum cleaner. The same can be done with two magnets or a powerful magnet and nut.

It turns out that Chinese manufacturers produce such special magnets for pulling wiring behind sheets of drywall or in pipes. Magnets with clamps for the rope (because first the rope is pulled, which is also included in the kit).

This set with magnets is a replica of a more expensive product called Zezzo wiremag puller, which costs from 2300 rubles. And the only difference is in the plastic case. He's not here. Rope length - 6 m. Thickness of sheets of plasterboard, plywood, for reliable magnetization and retention - up to 25 mm. The diameter of the large magnet (washer) is 50 mm. The length of the rectangular pipe magnet is 34 mm. Link on aliexpress. Magnets look like this:

A nylon rope is tied to a retainer that is screwed onto one of the magnets. Rope pulling process:

It can be seen that it is necessary to move the magnet with effort, because magnets are strongly attracted even through drywall sheets. Moreover, the magnet can withstand movement through small obstacles inside the plasterboard structure. Magnets will help when working with an electrician, where no wiring has been laid inside the drywall walls. Or for transferring outlets in a frame house.

The magnets will also cope with pulling the wiring inside the plastic pipes. For example, stretching a wire inside a HDPE pipe and then laying it in the ground along the site will be cheaper than purchasing an armored wire and protecting it with a brick layer in a trench. For HDPE pipe and trench can be narrow. How quicker and easier it is to dig a trench was the article here.
