    Default Cable dispenser

    Hay all, I need another cable dispenser similar to this:
    http://www.amazon.com/Carlon-Wire-Sp...m/B000KKHKLM/2

    I bought this one a year or so ago at menards for around $30. Now that Ive used it a few times, I could use one or two more. However, they seem to be largely unavailable from what I can tell. Something similar from greenlee sells for almost $300. Its useful but not $300 useful. Anyone know of something similar and under $100?

    The link shows their home page. Not sure what you're looking for.

    Exactly like both of those.However, both are unavailable and that's my dilemma.

    Sounds like its time for you to fab one up. You already have the pattern.

    Google "romex dispenser". Find one you can make yourself. I'll see if I still have one in my attic and take a picture of it. since I bought a Carlon at Menards, I use it all the time.
