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?Last edited by shag_fu; 12-18-2012 at 08:29 PM. Reason: Bad link

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

Re: Cable dispenser
This shows a T&B for $60ish.

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

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

Re: Cable dispenser
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.
