KOOTANS 22FT Fiberglass Electrical Wire Running Kit Wire Fishing Tools Fish Tape Wire Puller Through Wall Cable Snake Fish Rods Kit with Different Attachments

I had to run network cabling for my company's new office and being my first time I tried a number of products to do it. This one was my go-to tool for the vast majority of my cable running. Since I had to do this job solo it was a real help in retrieving cables that I had tossed in plenum area above the ceiling using its modular length and hook attachment features.Its dirty work was spent lowering cable through thick insulation layers behind drywall down to network cutouts. I really was rough in using the product and ended up breaking one of the connectors but the others all survived the project and I ended up losing other pieces to my own clumsiness. The affordability also made it relatively easy to replace parts with a whole new set anyway.

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.

Worked pretty well, a little hard to use horizontally. I'm not sure how durable they will be over time but after one use it's all good.

It did the job. Be careful to turn it in a way that continues to tighten the tubes. I didn’t think I turned it at all and the cable pulling loop came off.

My eyelid is not able to screw in to anything and I don’t think it’s the right one. Other than that only had it for a a day, so I’ll give further review later.

Well made

Exactly as described! The fact that it can break all the way down into the small container is a huge plus. The added attachments make it a lot easier to hook the wire and pull it through as well.

By far the easiest way to fish a network cable. Made short work of challenging cable runs.Prior to this, I tried the traditional fishing rod thing but it was so flexible it actually got stuck — I had to cut it (difficult!) and abandon it in the wall
