Showerthought: I used to run coax through walls with just a fish tape and a prayer.
Now I always use a glow rod kit with a magnetic tip, especially for those tricky drops in old houses with fire blocks. The change happened about two years ago after I spent a whole afternoon on a single line in a 1920s bungalow. It just saves so much time and frustration when you can see exactly where the rod is. Anyone have a favorite brand for those magnetic kits, or a different method for tight spaces?

It's funny how a single bad job can make you change your whole method. I got a Klein kit after a similar nightmare in an old plaster house, and that magnet is a lifesaver for finding the rod inside the wall. It just shows that the right tool doesn't just save time, it saves your sanity.
