  • Patent number: 5067843
    Abstract: A tool for attaching a pulling cable to flexible metal conduit having a convolute inner wall surface has a generally cylindrically shaped rear body section having a raised helical rib adapted to threadingly engage the helical inner wall convolutions of a length of conduit. The front body section of the tool has a tapered, bullett-shape tip with a flat front face. A longitudinal disposed slot extending rearward from the front face of the tip is adapted to receive the grommeted end of a fish tape leader or similar pulling cable. Axially aligned holes extending transversely through the two laterally spaced apart from jaw members formed by the slot are provided to receive a securing member such as a screw which passes through the grommet, thereby securing the cable to the tool.
