Which tool would you use to pull a new wire through a tight conduit run?

• A. Fish tape
• B. Conduit bender
• C. Wire strippers
• D. Multimeters

Answer: (A)

Pulling new wire through a tight conduit run requires a tool that can navigate the conduit and guide the wire through the bends. Fish tape is designed for this purpose: it’s a flexible, stiff line with a pointed or hook end that you push through the conduit, then attach the new wire to the tape’s end and pull it back through. Conduit bender is used to shape the conduit itself, not to pull wire. Wire strippers remove insulation after the wire is in place, and multimeters measure electrical values, not for pulling wires. So fish tape is the best choice for threading or pulling wire through a tight conduit.
