Hi, I've got a fish tape and I sometimes use a piece of string with a fishing weight on the end of it and hook it with a piece of bailing wire. I'm curious, what are some other ways to fish wires through walls?
Obviously if you have a full attic with great access, no insulation, and you are installing a 3 gang box in a wall, it's pretty straightforward in most cases.
But sometimes I'm running audio or antenna wires, the customer doesn't want an opening that would require a single gang plate, and all I've got to work with is 1 1/2 inch hole in the sheetrock to try and catch the wire/tape/string/whatever that I dropped down from the attic or pushed up from the crawl space.
What are some of the tricks/techniques that you all use?
What are some of the tools that you all use?
Anybody have links to any not well known tools that work well for them?
Thanks!
