FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New tool streamlines underground pipe installation for contractors and utility crews
Solon Springs, WI – July 28, 2025 – JWM Inc., a leader in job site innovation and underground utility solutions, is proud to announce the launch of the patent-pending Hex Carrot Duct Puller*, a tool engineered to revolutionize underground pipe and duct installations.
Developed with input from field professionals, the Hex Carrot addresses a long-standing industry pain point: the slow, labor-intensive process of coupling duct pullers to conduit. By combining a self-threading tapered body, hexagonal power tool interface, and dual-arm pulling system, the Hex Carrot dramatically reduces installation time while increasing reliability and safety on the job.
“We designed the Hex Carrot™ to make underground duct installation faster and more ergonomic,” said Phillip Johnson, President of JWM. “Contractors no longer need to wrestle with manual tools or risk damaging pullers under load. This tool is impact-gun ready, heavy-duty, and built to keep crews moving.”
Key Features of the Hex Carrot™ Duct Puller:
• Self-tapping, frustoconical steel body threads directly into duct — even if unthreaded
• Hexagonal head designed for use with cordless impact guns and standard socket tools
• Dual-arm design allows simultaneous connection to pull and guide lines
• All-steel, one-piece construction provides exceptional strength and torque resistance
• Patent-protected design ensures unmatched performance and durability in the field
Ideal for use by utility contractors, directional drilling crews, and telecom installers, the Hex Carrot™ is engineered to handle demanding job site conditions while saving crews valuable time.
The tool is now available for immediate order. Distributors and contractors interested in stocking or testing the product can contact the company at (218) 485-3365 or by email at Info@JWM-Inc.com, or visit JWM-Inc.com for more details.
