Hand scooping and pouring cable pulling lubricant is slow and messy, and it is hard to keep the flow steady. The Polywater LP-D5 is a drill-operated pump that moves lubricant straight from the pail into the duct or onto the cable. A ½ inch variable-speed drill drives it, so the drill speed sets how fast the lubricant comes out.
Polywater says the pump works with all of its cable pulling lubricants. For help choosing one, see our guide to Polywater cable pulling lubricants and the winter grade options.
