Good Buddy Rodder
Your Reliable Partner for Efficient Conduit Rodding.
The Good Buddy® series by Jameson comprises robust duct rodders engineered for efficient cable pulling and conduit cleaning in underground utility installations. Featuring a 3/8-inch diameter fiberglass rod with a non-conductive polymer sheath, these rodders offer a balance of flexibility and strength, accommodating the demanding conditions of utility work in regions like Arizona, California, New Mexico, Nevada, and Texas.
Designed to navigate conduit sizes ranging from 2 to 4 inches, the Good Buddy® rodders are available in various lengths to suit different project requirements. For instance, the Good Buddy® II model offers lengths up to 1,000 feet, facilitating longer conduit runs often encountered in expansive urban developments across the southwestern United States. Each rod is marked in 5-foot increments, enhancing accuracy during cable installation and maintenance tasks.
The system's frame is thoughtfully designed with a handle and heavy-duty wheels, ensuring easy transport across diverse terrains commonly found in utility job sites throughout Texas and California. Features such as a friction brake and safety roller feed contribute to controlled rod payout and retrieval, minimizing the risk of damage to the rod or conduit. Additionally, the Good Buddy® series includes an accessory kit with components like a swivel pulling eye and splice ferrule, providing versatility for various underground utility applications.
