	Subject - straighten your fishtape luckyshadow When your fishtape gets all curly( because it was pulled out of the pipe wrong) and you want it straightened out just weave it thru you ladder or a pallet and pull it thru as it weaves back thru the ladder/pallet it will be straightened the only hard part is finding a spot that you can stretch out 200' of fishtape Wirenutz i had used unistrut in the past, but ladders are even more available ~W~ Alfred I use grabber screws in a 2x4 spaced about 2" apart. Run in about 10- 20. You can run the 2x4 along the fishtape or mount it to the floor. Works great when a rookie has had a hold of your fish tape. Thanks Alfred Johnson Scott Vickrey I learned to take a short piece of 1/2" emt and bend two back to back 90's in it. Then run the fish tape through it and have someone hold the end of the fish tape or tie it to something solid. Now walk the conduit down the tape and back till you are satisfied. A single pass is usually sufficient.
