The Ferret was introduced to the market in 2001 by an innovative and passionate Australian electrician. The objective was to find a simple and safe alternative to existing cable feeding that would instead enable a stand-alone worker to breeze through confined cavities and crevices with ease.

The Story Behind The Ferret
Developing a cable feeding tool that enabled a worker to feed wires through confined cavities meant engineering a product that wouldn’t bend or buckle, maintained its intended direction, and wouldn’t get caught on obstructions along the way. The outcome of this was the Ferret, a reliable and versatile cable-feeding tool made from fibreglass reinforced polymer that is now used widely across Australia by professionals in all industries.
The product has been passed down through generations to continue the business that built its strong reputation. It has the Australian-made stamp of credibility, with key components manufactured in ISO 9001 accredited facilities—assembled by qualified trades. The Ferret is backed even further by a 12-month product warranty for performance guarantee. It has become the preferred tool of one of Australia’s most recognised electrical supply wholesalers, Wattmaster.
