Cable end of the spool Q
I find that the last 40' or 50' of cable in spools of NM 14/2 has a lot of twists and kinks ,not very good to run along joists.
Is it OK to use it if I straighten it out by hand ?
Thank you

Thanks for replies, I uncoil as I go.
When I started to rewire my house I underestimated the amount of wire needed so no fancy tools for me
I just mounted a piece of broomstick on top of a milk crate and smooth out the cable by hand with a rag .It works well,all my cables are straight ,no twists or kinks but it is time consuming.So far I done two 450' spools of 14/2 ,other cables came in the packages wraped in plastic.
