For constructors and workmen in general, portability is very important. The industry requires a lot of movements and lifting, and the tools used have to be highly portable and easy to handle. For portability, weight is a major issue. The user must consider weight and determine is the device is comfortable to use. The dimension also comes in as a factor in selection, with more preference given to compact device. This means that it can be stored and carried around easily. However, the need to have the device that is portable should not supersede the strength and capacity requirement.

The level of engineering employed such as the material used and the workmanship involved also matters a lot. The device should be able to support heavy cables without breaking and be generally long lasting to survive collisions, drops, knocks and all other rough movements associated with construction sites. There is also a need to have a wheel as this further supports its portability.

The material used and indeed the workmanship also matters. It should be long lasting so that the user gets value for money. The durability and strength cannot be compromised as this is the only way to ensure that they can support heavy cables as the work may demand. The construction site is associated with rough movements, accidental drops and knocks. Its only the devices that are hard enough that can survive in such environment for long. It should also have wheels to support its portability.

Different models come with difference specifications for the maximum load at any given time. This can vary widely, and is always specified in the manual. There are those that will only support a single cable at a time, while other candies can support more cables.

The devices vary widely, while some of these devices can support spools of wires, there are those that only support a single one at a time. As such, by carefully going through the manual, you should be able to choose a gadget that meets your demands.

When it comes to the price tag, there can be a lot of variations, the simpler the device, the cheaper it is. The more elaborate ones are however more expensive. This may not always be the case, and it is important to compare the price to the quality of the device provided. The high quality option may be more expensive but they tend to last longer and the user gets value for money. Price might be a major factor, but it cannot be the sole basis of making a choice.
