Abstract: A wire pulling device has a pulley wheel rotatably mounted to a clamp in the first embodiment of the invention, with the clamp being affixed to a junction box having an open side in a horizontal plane for the passage of the wire to the pulley wheel. In a second embodiment of the invention, two clamps are provided that mount the pulley wheel to the junction box where the open side of the junction box is in a vertical plane. The clamps have rotatable sleeves mounting a tie rod supporting the pulley wheel so that the sleeves may be rotated through 90 degrees when desired to change from the mode of operation of the first embodiment to that of the second, as when it is required when remounting the junction box from a ceiling to a wall.
