Fish Tape - Need help!

[Ducky_Fresh]

So, I moved in to this new house and there is already a conduit setup to fish through.

Problem is, I am getting stuck at this one spot. I will twist and turn and retry, and it always gets to the same spot and I get stuck.

I'm super frustrated, any suggestions?

Anyone a pro want to come help?

You can try to vacuum (or blow) a plug attached to pull string. Second, if it's stuck at a bend or joint, try adding more lube to the fish tape, and or using a smaller diameter fish tape. I have all that stuff at my shop down the street from you if you want. You can buy your speakers to

This is the method I used when running wire up to the tower speakers on the boat. I stuffed a wad of string into one end the tube, applied vacuum at the hole where I wanted the wires to come out, and out came the string - quick

Yeah, we actually have round foam plugs in a variety of diameters with an eye hook on them. Plug goes in hole with pull string attached to eye hook, shop vac on other end. Works bitchen for the big diameter stuff. Saves loads of time when you have a lot of pulls to do.

It's it's made by Greenlee here: PortaBlow
