Review: If you need it, it's well worth the price. - A few weeks ago I found myself needing to run cables through my attic to carry 24-vdc to my security cameras. My attic has a rather low roof and very little flooring to step on which could lead to a foot through a ceiling if care is not taken; but worse yet my furnace/ac unit is right in the middle of the attic and it is impossible for any normal sized human being to crawl over, under or around it. I tried using fiberglass 'fish' sticks to feed the cable across the attic, but they were too flexible and when I screwed four of them together it produced a very rainbow-like stick that just wouldn't cooperate. So, having used a CableCaster back in 2001 on a job I was involved with I began searching to see if they were still in production. The price is not a great deal higher than it was back then and so I ordered it as soon as I saw it on desertcart. I have read some of the other reviews and can understand how some folks have had problems with this device, but my own personal experience was that it worked great for shooting cables through a ceiling in a government building on an Army post where I installed a DDC control system. The dart shot pretty straight and I was able to shoot it through a dropped ceiling tile across a sheet-rock ceiling and to another dropped ceiling tile on the other side, a distance of fifteen to twenty feet, with zero problems. My good experiences continued to my attic where I was able to shoot the dart from the furnace over to and through an outside wall vent twenty feet away and then a repeat performance to the opposite end of my attic. Cables pulled and terminations made in short order thanks to the CableCaster. If you take the time to familiarize yourself with it and practice shooting the dart a few times before you actually start, you will learn how to aim it to get the dart where you need it to be. The fishing line is rather thin, but is sturdy enough to do the job if you shoot the dart and then tie a pull string to it instead of the cable itself. I didn't follow that advice and still had no problem; but I will use a pull string the next time since it is way lighter than cable is. You could probably pull hundreds of feet of pull string without fazing that skinny fishing line in the least as long as the dart doesn't get hung up on something. Well, I can't really think of anything bad to say about the CableCaster. It does the job for short to intermediate distances and is fairly sturdy. I suppose they could sell it for less, but there probably aren't a blue million of them being bought, and Greenlee is entitled to make a profit on them. I give it a thumbs up. Review: Worked Great, But Quality Is Questionable - Decided to get this to make cabling a small office network easier. It did the trick! Certainly pricey, when you consider the quality of the device. Looks like a cheap, plastic, child's dart gun from the 1980's that you'd have bought at a drugstore toy rack. Even when you put the darts in, it sounds like the same spring sound that my childhood toys made. This item certainly has a more powerful spring to toss the dart quite a distance though and it worked as advertise. Given the plastic construction of the device, I'm just not sure how well it's going to hold up, but as I'm not a professional, its not something I'll use much. The fishing reel attached to the front is a low-end product, but then again, it does the trick. For the price, I would have expected a little better construction and material. I'd certainly be cautious about buying this if I was in the business of installing networks as I doubt it would hold up with daily use very long. It needs TLC that I doubt a professional would fail to give it on a big job. ## Features - 50 foot (15 m) range allows for faster installations with fewer pulls - Bright yellow body reduces chances of leaving the cable caster behind - Glow-in-the-dark darts minimize replacement costs because they are easy to locate - Aerodynamic darts provide high accuracy and fast installation - Optional flashlight improves visibility ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001HWAGRM | | Best Sellers Rank | #177,168 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #33 in Electrical Pulling Grips | | Brand | Greenlee | | Brand Name | Greenlee | | Capacity | 15 Meter | | Color | Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 463 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00783310061861 | | Included Components | 1 Greenlee Branded Product | | Item Dimensions | 7.5 x 1 x 4.5 inches | | Item Type Name | Tool | | Item Weight | 12.8 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 7.5 x 1 x 4.5 inches | | Manufacturer | Greenlee | | Manufacturer Part Number | 6186 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Warranty | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 06186 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Style | Music | | Style Name | Music | | UPC | 151902990835 783310061861 735090304652 840371112625 763615717700 012304311393 787721800033 000063569766 021112971866 767654021118 031111229479 012301046182 611104403552 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Greenlee - **Color:** Yellow - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7.5 x 1 x 4.5 inches - **Material:** Plastic - **Style:** Music ## Images ![Greenlee 06186 Cablecaster Wire Pulling Tool With Three Darts - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71t-jhvkhZL.jpg) ![Greenlee 06186 Cablecaster Wire Pulling Tool With Three Darts - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714jNixrrkL.jpg) ![Greenlee 06186 Cablecaster Wire Pulling Tool With Three Darts - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81O5gPLJjUL.jpg) ![Greenlee 06186 Cablecaster Wire Pulling Tool With Three Darts - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uq9U+o9CL.jpg) ![Greenlee 06186 Cablecaster Wire Pulling Tool With Three Darts - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61r4W+ZNZEL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What’s the largest fish you can catch with this?** A: I caught a 1100lb Marlin but it took 12 hours to reel in and a very fast boat. **Q: how do i use this?** A: I used cablecaster for installing cat 5 cable in hung ceilings in office space. I shot green dart to the area the tied on cat 5. Imo it really isn’t worth the money. **Q: How high will the dart go if you shoot straight up? I have some vertical situations (25'-35') where this could be useful.** A: Hi... I am not sure what is the max vertical high... we make some tests and we will said that High is around 20 to 25' max., but the line make some resistance... probably with a lighter line will go further.... Thanks **Q: Will this tool shoot straight or does it have much of an arc? I need to hit a 3'x3' opening 35' away in the attic to string wire.** A: you will have to arc upward to shoot it 35' away from you. Gravity will pull it down some... having said that the drop on 35 feet should not be more that 3' I have used this Cablecaster many times to hit an opening around 1 1/2' around 30-40' away with around a foot above the opening, and it may take a time or two to get it just right, but it can be done easily... Remember to pull "pull-string" back before pulling cable as the fishing line used in this Cablecaster is light for the shot but cannot pull very much weight. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you need it, it's well worth the price. *by B***K on January 4, 2024* A few weeks ago I found myself needing to run cables through my attic to carry 24-vdc to my security cameras.

All the other reviewers that have complained about the fishing reel being junk, even defective right out of the box, are all accurate. I opened the package and went to pull the line out after pressing the release button on the back of the reel only to have the entire front of the reel face cover and the spooling mechanism fall to the floor! The spooling mechanism wasn't screwed onto the threaded stud that connects to the crank handle. I initiated a "free return" only to find I was going to pay a 30% restocking fee on all opened packages. I had to open the package to find out it was defective. I decided to keep it and replace the reel with a quality one as others have done and not lose 30% for something that wasn't my fault. ## Frequently Bought Together - Greenlee 06186 Cablecaster Wire Pulling Tool With Three Darts - Greenlee - Darts,Cablecaster (4 Pak), Fishing (06259) - Jonard Tools CPF-215 Cable Funnel Drop Ceiling Protector, Orange --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/3289035-greenlee-06186-cablecaster-wire-pulling-tool-with-three-darts](https://www.desertcart.es/products/3289035-greenlee-06186-cablecaster-wire-pulling-tool-with-three-darts) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
