I finally gave in and bought the $80 cable snake after fighting with a fish tape for a decade
The snake got through a tricky 15-foot interior wall run in under two minutes, where the old tape would always kink and take half an hour. Anyone have a favorite trick for pulling wire through finished ceilings without dropping insulation everywhere?

Man, this is everywhere. People fight the cheap tool forever. Like using a butter knife as a screwdriver. You finally buy the right screwdriver and it takes two seconds. Same with my old can opener versus the good one. That fight with the fish tape for a decade is the whole story. We waste so much time being stubborn.

Tape a plastic bag over the hole before you pull. Catches most of the mess. Works way better than trying to vacuum it up after.
