I used this to fish CAT6 for security cameras and for 12/2 NM (Romex) cable for some recessed lights. At first I found the short size obnoxious, but when I got to the 12/2 and the way I had to fish it, it would have been impossible with a longer stick size, so after that I was thankful they are shorter. I also used it in both instances with a snake camera that I taped to the end of the stick to help me find some hidden cables and look for cables before drilling blind holes.

I wanted to share an effective technique I recently employed while working with wiring in one of our projects. Adding a magnet to the end of a line and a loop to the bottom proved to be a significant time-saver when fishing new electrical wire through walls. The added magnetic attraction and secure holding point made the process much smoother.This method has been useful for both DIY and professional applications, and I highly recommend it for future wiring projects.

This worked well for fishing wires, but it arrived without a cap, and two of the ends. Are these shipped by robots? They should have weighed the package.

Bought it to pull some wires through the ceiling and it worked enough to finish the job. For me, 4 pieces was the limit. Anything after that, it started to sag and get hard to get over/across beams. Thank goodness for the magetic connector. I had another 2 pieces created with the magnetic head and insert it to the opposite hole to try and find the first pole's string that I attached a key ring to. My issue would be that I wish the magnet was stronger and the poles were stiffer.

Bought this to fish through my basement's convoluted ceiling where my electrician's fish just got stuck and bent and side-tracked and just couldn't get through. Well on receiving this, I managed to fish through within 5 minutes. Will be a useful addition to my tools.

Had 8 runs of about 24' long each. Hit a snag on one of the runs and it came apart after some tugging. The connector came off entirely on one of the rods, and partially dislodged on another. Other than that, it worked well when you need more rigidness. (I previously tried/failed with steel fishing tape and a more flexible fibreglass fish tape reel.)

The concept on this is great. However, the brass screw fittings aren't very strong and I broke the threads off of two different connections when the fiberglass rod would bend. Also the fitting are enough larger than the rod without any taper on the transition form brass to rod so the rod gets hung up VERY easily.

In my contractor days of the past, I had a crazy stick. A single unit that you extend by setting the coupler. So you always have the full length, but can unset the coupler to make it shorter.This version you have to screw the pieces together, and keep the extra pieces in you pocket so you don't have to get off the latter. I prepped the ceiling in my garage for down lighting this weekend, and was able to run my romex across the internal side of the ceiling no problem with this stick. After a couple of hours, I was able to establish a workflow with this product and got use to how it works. For the price you can't beat it, and it didn't slow my performance down. It's very strong, yet has the right amount of bend. The screws actually was a benefit, because each screw can acts as a rest, to support the rod vertical so it's doesn't slip down the wall, to hold it place as you tie your string onto the leader tape.I ended up putting this in my tool bag as a permanent member of the my tool team. This tool is not a joke, and actually performs very well. I wish I could find my crazy stick, because I really liked it. But this tool does things my crazy stick couldn't do such as the flexibility of the material.

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.
