TIL a $25 fish tape puller is worth every penny

I mean, I always just used my hands and a lot of swearing to pull cable through tight spaces. Bought one on a whim after a tough job in a San Antonio apartment complex, and it cut my pull time in half on the very next install. Anyone else have a cheap tool that turned out to be a lifesaver?

Wait, you pulled cable by HAND in those old San Antonio walls? That sounds like a special kind of pain. The fish tape puller is a total game changer for sure.

Oh man @oliverhernandez, I think my back still hurts from that job.

My old boss in Dallas swore by a $12 wire coat hanger he kept in his van. Honestly, for most residential pulls, I still find that and some electrical tape gets the job done faster than setting up a puller. The fancy tool just collects dust for me.
