Claim 8:
9. A method of drawing a fish tape out of a conduit comprising:
supplying the fish tape having a distal portion inserted into the conduit and a proximal portion extending out of an opening of the conduit;
retaining an exit opening of a driver device proximal to the opening of the conduit;
activating the driver device for pulling said distal portion of the fish tape through the opening of the conduit into the exit opening of the driver device, wherein said pulling the fish tape into the driver device includes driving the fish tape between a friction wheel and a movable retainer positioned inside the driver device; and
adjusting a distance between the movable retainer and the friction wheel with an adjuster, wherein said adjuster includes a screw thread connecting between said movable retainer and said friction wheel and wherein twisting said screw thread in a first direction moves said retainer towards said friction wheel and wherein twisting said screw thread in an opposite direction distances said retainer from said friction wheel.
