KOOTANS 11 ft Fiberglass Wire Running Kit Wall Cable Wire Fishing Rod Pull Push Tool Electrical Fish Tape Set with 6 Different Accessories

Ran Ethernet fiber and new electrical circuit between joists, under a stairwell, and finally down a vertical conduit to a computer rack. Previously did this with 2x1 lumber, a rigid hard to maneuver 8 foot stick. This tool, alternatively, made it so much easier. It balanced rigidity and flexibility perfectly for my needs. Never had to reach into ceiling and floor cavities, or the void under stairwell, where protruding nails and screws previously scratched the heck out of my probing arm and fingers. The segments were added as needed and removed at the far end so wielding it didn't require a pile of extra space other than the space being navigated. A couple of times the segments unscrewed themselves. This wasted a bit of time and was annoying. Overall, though, glad I purchased this thing.

My husband and I are RVers, so we are hooking up and unhooking our septic hoses to our Class-C RV repeatedly on every trip. Instead of just using the hoses as-is and having to clean 'em out -- a nasty job, that! -- we use the RV Poopchute disposable sewer hose liners at Camping World, thus keeping our actual sewer hoses clean. However, if using the liner, you have to thread it through the hoses, which is where this product come into play. It can be stored with the liner and other septic accessories and when needed, screwed together (as many as needed for the job) ... the liner can then be tied to the end-piece with that ring and slid through the hose with ease. A quick, simple solution that works like a charm.

The cable puller does its job. But be prepared for the fact that the connections will break from time to time. They are brass and do not withstand loads, so first you always need to pull the rope, and only then the electric cable with it

So I have to run my cat6 7 feet down an insulated basement wall, that means between drywall and the plastic vapor barrier tight from the insulation behind. My electric tape was unthinkable. So I went for this gadget. I tried pushing it from the top, but the angle against the joist above the ceiling made it rip the vapor barrier and go behind the insulation, so I thought, bummer! On a whim I pushed it UP, where the flexible segments would be less stressed improving the angle of penetration... and pushed and pushed and stop... it hit something. I went to the hole above the ceiling and there it was. I never thought something so thin could go so straight up! I went to the other end to bring the cat6 on top of the tile ceiling and it saved me time by being able to go 4 tiles over at a time (with 4 segments, the other 6 were waiting in the wall). The only snag (literally) was that the cable got caught against a joist and top of wall and while pulling, one of the attachments with flimsy split ring (think autoshop key ring) totally got deformed. So I used a piece of wire looped around instead of the ring. It worked. At the wall I used a braided steel cable with a red plastic cone to pull the cat6 and went down the wall without a hitch!!! To bring the opposite end of the cat6 inside the house through a small hole, I just pushed the pole segment by segment with the wife watching behind a corner TV stand. The pole went up along the corner until it hit the ceiling and then I shook it and it arched nicely for her to catch it. Easy as pie! Except for that flimsy split ring, it was perfect. The only improvement I would recommend is to include a male to male threaded adapter. It's hard to keep track of female and male threads in the heat of the battle. All in all, very impressed. Too much detail, bit I was so happy. In the past I've had to open multiple holes with some damage to the vapor barriers inside insulated walls, and inside the house, moving furniture and what not.

I always do a lot of research before buying something and am frequently surprised at the variety of reviews that I find for a product. Some people say oh this is great other people say oh this is the worst thing I’ve ever seen. For me I was looking for something that I could use occasionally to fish a wire through an attic to the outside to pull a wire. This set provided exactly what I needed and seems to be of sufficient quality. I didn’t experience any breakage as others have said. I suppose if you’re a professional and you do this for a living and you use the thing every day all week long I can’t say whether this would be the right product. For me, a DIY person occasionally needs to use a specialty tool for a job, this was very reasonably priced and did the job perfectly. I only used it once so far but so far so good!
