KOOTANS 11FT Fiberglass Running Electrical Wire Cable Glow Rods Wire Pulling Tools Fish Tape Cable Puller Through Wall Snake Fish Rods Kit with Different Attachments

Ben says: This thing goes the distance. Picked up this electrical fish stick set, and I’m honestly impressed. It reaches up to 22 feet, and every section feels sturdy and well-made. I ran it through a couple of bends that would’ve made cheaper kits cry, and it handled them without any issues — no cracking, no weird flex, just smooth guiding. If you need something reliable for longer pulls or tricky paths, this is a solid choice. Does the job, doesn’t fight you, and feels like it’ll hold up for a long time.

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!

Use it everyday. Great flex while also strong enough to push through insulation.

Used this to fish a Cat 5 cable stuck under my driveway and it worked perfectly. Flexible but sturdy, showed stiffness when jamming into underground pvc pipe and the glow feature made it easy to see. Makes pulling wires through tight spots way easier — highly recommend. Great value for the thick material used on this.

Be gentle with this product. The ends are very fragile

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.

Works like a charm!

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.

I used this to run some Cat6 cable and it worked very well. The connections come lose sometimes and I taped them with electrical tape to provide more stability. The small screw in connections can snap and I made that mistake when the male end snapped in the female end when bending the line. The tape provided support and fixed that. I didn't really use the included accessories, just taped the cat6 to the end and threaded it down the wall and also over the ceiling. Really cool product and made what I thought would be an impossible job much easier. Dropping a star as it is a little flimsy.

Wire threader worked well for recent light kit installation and you can add portions needed depending upon the distance of your job. They had several tips to add and connect to wires for threading. Material is fiberglass and so far dependable.

I should have read the reviews before buying rather than trusting the overall ratings. When attempting to use it, the metal piece of one segment snapped out and half of the segments used are now buried inside the wall blocking the path. There was no forcing, pulling or pushing beyond normal use, this is not my first time running a cable. I now have to cut the wall to do the job, a cheap tool causing an unnecessary complex job. I will return the pieces left and expect a full refund, do not buy this.

Good product
