The Ferret Overview

Our cable pulling and fishing tool runs cables in wall cavities, suspended ceilings & confined ceiling spaces with ease!

Tail (Hook Attachment)

The Ferret’s tail facilitates dual use for threading and taping of wires, as well as the fitting of the hook attachment to fish cables that are difficult to reach.

Body

Made out of fibreglass-reinforced polymer, the body is rigid enough to maintain direction, whilst being flexible enough to manoeuvre around corners and past obstructions. Its low flexural modules enable it to bend, and then return to its original state.

Guide Wheel (Head)

The unique flexible head contains a roller wheel to aid in gliding over mortar, bricks and hard edges with ease. The head has flex fatigue resistance, reflective memory and spring-like properties.
