Several months ago, one of my readers sent me an email asking about the details of a pipe-pulling device I used to replace a pump in December 2015. I was busy writing about water conditioners and filters, but never intended to ignore the request of the reader (whose name, I believe, was Fred).
I had written about the pulling project some months after the actual job. Several colleagues have asked me since if I have pulled any lately the old-fashioned way — by hand. The answer is “no,” but I can share some details about the tool that actually grabbed the drop pipe to pull it from the well.
