i have a near new fish tape
its only been used one time

in my past working lives, i have twisted, tied, taped, used wire cage pulls, and even steel cable come alongs or electric winches

i would solder them if i thought i needed it, to get them pulled, then cut off the end and finish the install

put discussing how to pull wire, that the OP does NOT need to pull

is not helping him

So, you are helping who exactly, by seconding the brilliant recommendation to solder a head up, to pull wire?

Here is a hint. If you are needing to apply such an EXTREME force, that the only way you could keep a head from pulling apart is to solder the individual conductors together, you are doing something wrong, and probably damaging the conductors. I have, on several occasions, removed and replaced damaged wiring, that was pulled by idiots who couldn't get a pull to move using normal techniques. They then had the brilliant idea to getthe wire moving by lashing the pull rope to a truck, backhoe bucket, etc.... and apply several times the force necessary to do the job.

In case there is any ambiguity to any of this. If you are pulling a few small conductors, say three #8 THHN, in a 3/4" PVC conduit(as was discussed here), you are at roughly 50% of fill capacity, and have no need to solder anything. If you are exerting such force that you are pulling a head apart, STOP and figure out WHY, as you are probably damaging the wires and wasting time and money. There is NEVER a need to solder a pull head together when pulling wire.
