All right today, we're going to demonstrate part number 80101-1. This is a half inch bolt leader. Now this part is typically used to install carriage bolts and blocks inside the frame of the vehicle for attachment points for a hitch. We got our hardware here, a typical half inch carriage bolt and a block. We'll go ahead and put those together and then take a bolt leader, also known as a wire pull and put everything together. Now this is the access hole we're going to use, so we'll go ahead and actually take it apart, To thread our bolt through, typically you go head first and then slide the block in. Then we pull everything back through the same hole and that's called a reverse pull. Now the next technique that we show you will be the regular fish wiring a bolt.
Now this is really common. Basically what would happen is this would be our access hole and we'd run this through a hole further up in the frame. In this case, we're going to use these two right close to each other for demonstration purposes. What we'll do is actually take our bolt leader, go through the hole that we want to use, back through our access hole. Then we'll take a block, which typically used, we'll push it in the frame, I like to keep it typically separate, so it can move around independently of the bolt. Plus if there are any obstacles in the way inside the frame, it kind of helps work the wiring.
Then we'll go ahead and take our bolt and put it onto the bolt leader, flip it around again, push it in head first. In certain situations, you may have to work it around like that, just rattle it to get it to work through and then back through the hole you're going to use. There you have it for part number 80101-1.
Great little tool to make a job easier!

Great little tool. Worth every penny.

I have a new tool for my toolbox
Indispensible tool.
Great product easy to use
it worked perfect
Extremely pleased. No complaints. Thank you.
Couldn't have got the job done without this little bugger!
Product used for installing hard to install hitch bolts and works great
COULDN'T HAVE DONE THE INSTALL SO QUICKLY AND EASILY WITHOUT THIS GADGET!
Great purchase which made the installation much easier!
Bolt leaderExtremely helpful for "threading" bolts through the truck frame.
This was the only site where I could fine this product by itself. Everything was on time and fine.
great tool ... works a whole lot better that my old string method
Bolt leaders make the install so easy. I would hate to have to do a install without a couple of them.
Made the install a snap. You only need one, but two was nice.
Very handy little item. I can't even imagine what trouble I would have encountered trying to fish bolts through my frame without this
This little $1 tool saved a lot of time. Without it, I am sure the frustration level would be way high trying to get the bolt and spacer through one hole and out another.
could not do the job without it but , it came with one so I really didn't need to purchase another . Found that out later.
this little tool can make a seemingly impossible job simple. I'd never seen one before, but I wish I could get one for every size bolt!
excellent product. could not have installed my hitch without it. it was great that this was offered and at such a low price.
It works, I wish it had been a bit longer. Made feeding the bolt easy but I think string fed by a coat hanger could have done the same thing. Unscrewing from the bolt was difficult for some reason. I don't know if it was just me struggling in the hot sun that day but I basically had to yank the thing off the bolts, which stretched it beyond use after the second one. It served it's purpose and it's already in the trash.
