Finally gave in and tried that zip-tie trick for pulling through tight spaces

Always thought it was a bit of a hack, but after a tough pull in a cramped attic in Phoenix, I looped one through the eye of my fish tape. It gave just enough flex to snake around a 90-degree bend I was stuck on for 20 minutes. What's your go-to trick when the fish tape just won't cooperate?

Hey, @holly_henderson86, isn't soap for pipe, not wire?

Right? That soap trick saved me in a wet crawlspace once.
