This one you need to pull out the length you need and then feed it where it needs to go

The 14” wide tape holds its shape very well for sneaking past batts of insulation but is thin and flexible front to back

I’ve had this for at least 5 years of abuse last year the factory tip broke off and just the other day i had to retire it by cutting it from the reeler i had a hard run to fish could barely get the tape through so instead of pulling a string back i cut the tape and pulled the cable directly

Pro tip don’t use the crank to try to pull the fish through anything that’s how you end up with a slinky
