We have Simpull wire, but we don't have the Simpull system, aka your entire run of wires shows up on one real with the crimps at the end.
Try and keep up.

I worked with early Simpull and my problem with it was the Nylon outer jacket was excessively loose where it would bind up .

Jeez, we pulled in 4 runs of 600s last Thursday- took 4 people: one running the tugger (Greenlee super tugger), one soaping the wire and two of us pulling. It was hilarious- me, a 145lb gal with not that much upper body strength and this big overweight guy were the ones pulling. The foreman got a real kick out of it  . To succeed in this trade you truly do need both brains and serious muscle.

Simpull seems to leave a icky something on your hands, but wonderful stuff to pull in.

Oh, and the Wire we had pulled in that day was Slipwire... Hard as heck to get a decent grip on when pulling. My forearms were on fire!

Shouldn't be any residue left on your hands after using Sim Pull. Maybe getting it from airborne contamination from a somewhere in your supply chain? I've fed that stuff in barehanded and there is not a spot of dirt or grime on my hands after ever including when I wore new gloves.

so we had to complete getting the secondary's to the transformer today. 6 sets of parallels. A short 60 ft run from the vault to the transformer. We set up all our cables and the decision to use the basket was made. After a crap of a time on the first run, i was told no more basket. Make up some heads.
The super slick wire did not take to the basket well at all.
