Hi I would recommend rack-a-tiers they are durable plastic designee that fit together when not in use you should be able to pick them up for a reasonable price.
id second the rack-a-teirs! can sit on them too, and they are strong enough to take a reel or 2 of small armoured cable.

Spoola for me, although the newer ones are screwed together as opposed to welded.

Stepladder and a broom handle, or the Spoola is a good long term investment.
Conduit from the apprentices graveyard

I use the original spoola for small drums of T+E, FP200 etc . Then the Thorsman one for armored drums it's a bit weighty to throw around on a rewire

Both sound and look excellent. Can anyone suggest the approximate weight and height of a folded up CableStik, as I'm wondering if I can be prepared to lug it about and I can't find it on the interweb. Plus I like the idea that the extra arm can be attached to roof joists, see CABLESTIK Multi-purpose Cable Dispensing System - Installs in Seconds - No Tools Required
CableStik is only £41 inc vat at the Edwardes Bros Website and if one also buys the extra arm for £18 inc vat the delivery is free.
Although the Spoola is only £26 inc vat at TLC at the moment Original Spoola Cable Carrier

I have the drums on the floor kick the drum away and pull it back at the same time. All about the technique.
If I'm being lazy a hilmoor shortie with a length of cond clamped in the jaws and reels slid on that

Yeah, we always end up with a few of them on a big job. Cheaper than getting more cablestiks.

That's not too bad, I was expecting 20kg+ the way some of you and complaining, although I guess this is before any wire is put on it...

not a bad weight and the bag comes with a nice sling so it can be popped on the shoulder. tough as old boots and at 41 quids cheap enough too
