  • I'll be honest, when I saw the cart, I didn't have high hopes of substantial savings, but this thing is great! I think I'll have a hard time getting it back from my crew.

  • With the RackPacks having a hole on the side, we get the pull of the spool with the convenience of a box.
    Dustin SadlerADT Installation Team ManagerADT - Tyco, Fire & Security
  • We no longer need a second technician to feed the material out of the boxes.

  • The cable being wrap on a spool also prevents the common problem of standard boxed cable of getting loops or twisting in the cable during a pull, this is a great improvement if you ever have the need to go back and pull additional cables in the same raceway or other cable management solution.
