Old security guard in Cleveland showed me a trick I still use

Was running a line through a warehouse ceiling in Cleveland last spring and this old security guard named Dave came over. He told me to stop fighting with fish sticks and just tape a magnet to the end when going through insulated ceilings. Totally saved me 45 minutes on that run. Anybody else got random tips from people who aren't even in the trade?

Actually it's not fish sticks, it's glow sticks or fish tapes. But the magnet trick is legit, I've used painters tape to stick a neodymium magnet on mine before too.

@emma_ramirez yeah the magnet trick saved me so much hassle last time
