Getting a regular puller into position, finding anchoring points, swapping configurations between an underground pull and an overhead run, and digging through a gang box for the right adapter, all of that time adds up before you have even started moving wire. This adds precious time to a job that could be used for other important, more complex tasks.
Throw in a puller that only does one job or requires a full disassembly to move to the next pull point, and you're burning labor hours on equipment management and setup rather than on the actual production of the project.
The iTOOLco C6K.2 Cannon 6K Wire Puller was designed to take most of those pain points off the table. It's a 4-speed dual capstan puller that handles side pulls, overhead pulls, underground pulls, and truck hitch applications without disassembly. No anchoring required, no gang box full of parts, no swapping machines. One self-contained unit that's ready to pull the moment it hits the job site.

What is the iTOOLco Cannon 6K?
The Cannon 6K is a corded, drill-powered wire puller built for electrical contractors who need one machine that can handle a full day of varied pull work without constant configuration changes. It rides on an ergonomic wheeled cart, telescopes for setup flexibility, collapses for transport, and pivots between side pull, overhead, underground, and truck hitch configurations without requiring disassembly.
The dual capstan system gives you two effective pullers in a single machine. A small-diameter capstan handles heavy loads that need controlled, high-torque pulling. A large-diameter capstan handles lighter loads where production speed is the priority. Combined with two motor speeds, you get four total pulling speeds in one unit.
The C6K.2 is powered by the Milwaukee No. 1680-20 drill motor and controlled through a UL-listed foot switch. Your hands stay free to manage the rope while your foot controls the pull. The user always stands to the side of the puller during operation, not in line with the rope, which is a deliberate safety design built into the geometry of the machine.
iTOOLco backs the Cannon 6K with a 6-year warranty.

Two Pullers in One: The 4-Speed Dual Capstan System
This is the core engineering decision that separates the Cannon 6K from most wire pullers in its class. Most pullers give you one capstan and a single pulling speed. The C6K.2 gives you two capstans and two motor speeds, working out to four effective pulling speeds on one machine.
Small Diameter Capstan (for heavy loads):
- Low speed: 8 feet per minute
- High speed: 20 feet per minute
Large Diameter Capstan (for lighter loads and higher speed):
- Low speed: 28 feet per minute
- High speed: 70 feet per minute
On a long run with a full conduit loaded with conductors, you need the torque of the small capstan at low speed to get the wire head moving and through tight spots. Once the pull is moving and the load lightens up, you can shift to the high speed setting or move to the large capstan to pick up production pace.
No two pulls are the same. Conduit fill, run length, bend count, and wire lubrication all affect how much load you're pulling against. Having four speed options lets the operator match the puller to the actual conditions on each pull rather than running at a fixed speed that is either too slow for production or too fast for a heavy load.
Important: Always release the foot switch and wait for the puller to come to a complete stop before switching between low and high speed. Never switch speeds mid-pull with the foot pedal engaged.
Pulls Any Direction: Side, Overhead, Underground, or Truck Hitch
Most wire pullers are built for one configuration. Moving between application types usually means swapping equipment or hauling a different machine to the job. The Cannon 6K converts between four pull configurations without disassembly.
Side Pull
Standard horizontal configuration. The puller sets up inline with the conduit entry point. Used for most panel pulls and inline conduit runs.
Overhead Pull
The front extension pivots upward to align the conduit adapter into overhead conduit entries. The adjustable counterbalance lets you dial in the balance point after setting up the pivot angle. A pivoting arm provides rope access so you are not fighting the geometry of an overhead setup to manage your rope wraps
Underground Pull
The front extension assembly pivots downward to align with below-grade conduit. Remove the cinch pin at the main knuckle, adjust to the needed angle, reinsert the pin, and you're set. The conduit adapter seats flush into the conduit mouth and the puller does the work.
Truck Hitch
The puller mounts to a truck hitch receiver for longer outdoor pulls. Useful on new construction sites where underground conduit runs cover significant distances between structures.
On the universal adapter: The included universal adapter handles pulls under 5,000 lbs. For loads over 5,000 lbs., use the size-specific conduit adapters (2" through 4") that ship with the machine. Always seat the adapter flush with the conduit mouth and confirm all hitch pins are fully inserted and clipped before starting a pull.
The Cannon 6K also pulls out 9 feet of extra wire at the end of each run, reducing the amount of service loop you need to hand-pull after the machine pull is complete.
Self-Contained and Ready to Pull Right Out of the Crate
iTOOLco built the Cannon 6K around the idea that a wire puller should not require a gang box of loose parts just to get operational. Everything needed to make a pull is part of the machine or included in the kit.
The telescoping arm extends and locks for pull setups, then collapses for storage and transport. The ergonomic wheeled cart makes it easy to move the puller between pull points on a job site without breaking it down. The whole unit folds down for loading in a van or on a truck without needing to remove the arm or detach components.
- No separate anchoring equipment needed
- No disassembly between pull configurations
- Conduit adapters and universal adapter ship with the unit
- UL listed foot switch connects directly to the 120V supply and the puller
- Adjustable counterbalance for easy setup balance
- Pivoting arm for rope access on overhead pulls
- Maneuvers easily into tight spaces
Setup is straightforward: remove the puller from the crate, connect the foot switch to power and the puller, verify the motor is set to forward, test the capstan direction with the foot switch, and you are ready to pull. The capstans should rotate so the rope starts over the top, and wraps are added as the pull loads up.
No Anchoring Required
One of the consistent complaints electricians have with wire pullers, particularly on pulls into panels or through congested electrical rooms, is finding an anchor point. In a finished electrical room with switchgear on all walls, a concrete floor, and a conduit entry at floor level, there may not be a practical anchor point without rigging something improvised.
The Cannon 6K is designed to operate without anchoring. The machine's weight and the geometry of how it engages the conduit handle the reaction forces during a pull. That is a real advantage in tight electrical rooms, congested commercial panels, and any situation where anchor rigging would add time or is not practical.
Note: Always ensure the puller is on even ground with weight evenly distributed. Keep all personnel out of the pull line. Stand to the side, not in front of or behind the puller in line with the rope. Inspect all components of the pull setup before starting: rope, adapters, pins, and the conduit itself.
Who Is the Cannon 6K Built For?
The C6K.2 is a commercial-grade wire puller built for electrical contractors and electricians running new construction, commercial, and industrial work where pull configurations vary throughout the day and production pace matters.
The Cannon 6K is the right fit for:
- Electrical contractors on commercial and industrial projects with multiple
- Crews where setup time directly affects production pace
- Jobs where a bulky, anchoring-dependent puller creates problems in tight spaces like electrical rooms or switchgear lineups
- Contractors who want one machine to cover side, overhead, underground, and truck hitch pulls without hauling multiple units
The Cannon 6K is not the right fit for:
- Service electricians doing occasional single-conductor pulls where a manual tugger is sufficient
- Residential work where pull distances and conductor counts do not justify the machine's footprint
- Projects without access to 120V power at the pull location
The 130 lb. weight is manageable with the wheeled cart, but this is a job site production tool, not something you are carrying up a ladder.
Making the Pull
The Cannon 6K delivers a clear value for electrical contractors running busy job sites: one self-contained machine that covers every common pull configuration, four speed options to match the actual load on every pull, no anchoring required, and a 6-year warranty backing the investment.
The dual capstan system is the engineering core of what makes this machine useful across so many applications. It lets the operator manage real-world pull variables, heavy loads, light loads, long runs, short runs, without being locked into a single pulling speed that is either too aggressive or too slow for the job at hand.
For crews that move between pull configurations throughout the day, the ability to pivot between side, overhead, underground, and truck hitch without disassembly keeps production moving. Add the 9-foot extra wire pull at the end of each run and you're cutting down on hand-pulling service loop, which on a large job compounds into meaningful time savings.
The Cannon 6K is a purpose-built production wire puller, and on the jobs it is designed for, it does exactly what it's built to do.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "4-speed dual capstan" mean on the iTOOLco Cannon 6K?
The Cannon 6K has two capstans: a small diameter capstan for heavy loads and a large diameter capstan for lighter loads. Combined with two motor speeds (low and high), you get four effective pulling speeds at 8, 20, 28, and 70 feet per minute. This lets the operator match pulling speed and torque to the actual load on each pull.
Does the iTOOLco Cannon 6K require anchoring?
No. The Cannon 6K is designed to operate without anchoring. The machine engages the conduit through the included adapters and the geometry of the setup handles the reaction forces during a pull. This is a significant advantage in tight electrical rooms, congested panel areas, and any location where finding a reliable anchor point is difficult.
What pull configurations does the Cannon 6K support?
The C6K.2 converts between side pull, overhead, underground, and truck hitch configurations without disassembly. The front extension assembly pivots and locks to the needed position using hitch pins. Always make sure all pins are fully inserted and clipped before starting any pull.
What conduit adapters are included with the C6K.2?
The C6K.2 includes one universal adapter and five conduit adapters covering 2" through 4" conduit sizes. The universal adapter handles pulls under 5,000 lbs. For loads over 5,000 lbs., use the size-specific conduit adapters.
What drill motor does the Cannon 6K use?
The Cannon 6K is designed for use with the Milwaukee No. 1680-20 drill motor. The machine runs on a 120V supply through the included UL listed foot switch. Always use a 20A GFCI protected circuit and an extension cord no longer than 100 feet, minimum 12 gauge wire with ground.
Can you switch speeds mid-pull on the Cannon 6K?
No. Always release the foot switch and wait for the puller to come to a complete stop before switching between low and high speed. Switching speeds while the foot pedal is engaged can damage the machine and create a safety hazard.
What warranty does the iTOOLco Cannon 6K carry?
The Cannon 6K comes with a 6-year warranty from iTOOLco. Do not alter or modify the puller or any iTOOLco equipment, as doing so will void the warranty.
How much extra wire does the Cannon 6K pull out at the end of a run?
The Cannon 6K pulls out 9 feet of extra wire at the end of each pull, reducing the amount of service loop you need to hand-pull after the machine pull is complete
