    I was use to one that you could feed out


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Already dropped it from 30ft and it just bounced without being damaged


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Be sure to read the instructions on the cardboard thingy or you will not be able to use this correctly even the first time


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
