The Magnepull XP1000-LC’s most notable feature is the outer guide magnet. Most such magnets are designed to be held in your hand, and dragged along the wall. This is pretty straightforward as far as tool operation goes. However, you run the risk of scratching your paint, particularly if you have a matte paint. The outer magnet on the XP1000 is barrel-shaped, and it’s designed to roll over your wall. It has a beefy, rubbery handle that’s similar in design to a paint roller. This makes it comfortable to guide your cable, and it also means you won’t scratch your paint. Magnetic handheld unit features easy rolling mar-resistant wheels, reducing marks on finished walls On the plus side, you get a similar versatile design to the Chromex puller. You can disconnect the lead line and tie the magnet directly to your wire. You can also shorten the line, or use a different line if you prefer that. As a result, it’s easy to use for DIYers. Final Verdict

The handheld guide magnet is surprisingly beefy, and fits in the palm of your hand. It has a cylindrical design, and more importantly, it’s coated in plastic. This keeps it from scratching your paint when you drag it across the wall. The Chromex Magnetic Wire Pulling System has a different design altogether. Instead of using a short metal lead, the magnet connects to your wire via a 25-foot long nylon string. The string comes with a spool, which is designed to keep it from tangling. Because you’re using a string, you can easily pull your wire through conduits and other tight spaces. The spool also makes the string easy to store. The kit includes a hard case, with a strong zipper closure that’s nice and secure. Everything fits easily inside, so taking your wire puller on the road is no big deal.The Gekko Gripper has been designed to make electricians' jobs easier when routing cables through floor voids An innovative product being sold by Schneider Electric as part of an exclusive distribution deal has been given an extra boost following a successful pitch on the hit BBC2 show Dragons’ Den. The magnet strength on the Chromex puller is what we’d describe as moderate. It’s not as if you’re pulling the inner magnet with an iron grip. That said, you can still get through most insulation without any trouble. The design is very well set up for this purpose, so you can easily use it on exterior walls. Needless to say, you’ll have an even easier time with interior walls.

Magnetic wire pullers come in a number of different designs, but they share a few common features. First, there are two magnets. One is used on the inside of the wall, and is connected to the end of your wire. The other magnet is held in your hand. You drop the first magnet down into the top of the wall. Then, you use the other magnet on the outside to guide the first magnet to its destination.

As you can see, each of these magnetic wire pullers has its own strengths and weaknesses. We started out by looking at the Magnepull XP1000-LC. This is the best puller for insulated walls, because of its shape and the radial magnet design. The ¾-inch diameter does pose some limitations. In addition, some people might prefer a stronger magnet. But for exterior walls, it’s a great tool for the job.

Specification

Sharon Wright, the inventor of the magnetic cable guide MagnaMole, was offered financial support from Dragons Duncan Bannatyne and James Caan following a winning presentation in the den. Millions of viewers watched on Wednesday 22 July as four of the five dragons competed for the chance to be part of MagnaMole’s promising future. One thing we appreciated about the Zezzo puller is how incredibly powerful the magnets are. You can work even through heavy drywall and lots of insulation. You can also get through smaller holes in the top of the wall. Since the rectangular magnet will fit through a ½-inch hole, it will go where many other magnets won’t go. You can also fit through smaller-diameter conduit, which means you can run wire to more places. Then again, powerful magnets also have a downside. They can tend to get caught on air ducts, pipes, and even nails. This means you have to pull the line out and start over.
