Just buy it

This stuff is great for pulling wires through walls, conduit, etc. It's incredibly strong for it's size. It's also a good idea whenever pulling wires to also pull in a strand of this stuff through, so next time someone(you) doesn't have to re-fish the route, or sacrifice a good cable to pull with. It's also common for conduit installers to leave a strand through all new runs. Even if you don't ever use it to pull wires, it's a good, strong, multipurpose synthetic "twine" with plenty of uses.

I don't like it kinky...
By TheLittleRhombus on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2014
I think this pull line is probably strong enough to handle any home/small business use. I was attempting to use this in my attic to pull alongside with my cables down inside multiple walls and outside through a soffit for surveillance cameras. Positives * The tube is small and easy to take with you in a vehicle or store in a tool box. * The pull is very durable and should hold up no problem to any pull. Negatives * The tube has a rubber grommet at the top that is supposed to only allow the pull line to come out the center of the tube's opening. While it does a pretty good job of centering the pull line it also does a pretty good job of sticking to the pull line since it's made from a soft rubber. I'm sure if you are pulling this up a wall vertically (with the tube in the room and you pulling up from the attic) it works very well. However if you are starting in an attic and running cable horizontally and then down into the room, as you are pulling cable the pull line often stops coming out of the tube and instead begins pulling the whole tube with the cables you're pulling. This is caused by the cable being wound so tight inside the tube that it doesn't uncoil in time to properly go through the grommet. I feel like this wouldn't be an issue if the tube was made out of a heavier plastic or if you had a second person helping that could hold the tube as you pull. However, when you're the only one available to pull cable this isn't an option. I could rig something up to fasten the tube to a rafter and then this wouldn't be an issue. But I'm knocking a star off for this. * So the tube pulls alongside the cable on vertical runs. I'll just pull out more line than I need so that as I'm pulling my cables the line just uncoils from a nice little pile I made and doesn't stick to the rubber grommet inside the tube...right?... No, The coils are tight enough and the line holds its shape enough that the pull line will kink and coil into an unmanageable mess if you pull out more than you need. I have worked with other pull line in the past that did not have this problem. Possibly it's because the other pull line was in a bigger bucket and a little heavier than this stuff. This is in a much smaller container and because of that is much easier to store and take with you but also causes some problems with the coils being too tight and potentially causing a mess. I have to knock a star off for this. Overall I would say "It's okay" as it feels like it will hold up to a tough pull in terms of strength and for short runs up a wall in an open attic it would probably meet your needs just fine. It's also in a smaller portable container which makes storing it in a vehicle or tool box much easier. But with the limitations it has for pulling vertically through an attic and no way to prevent it from kinking if you pull out a little extra I can only give this product three stars.
