Hot take: Getting the glow rod through packed insulation changed everything

Hey folks, had a real lightbulb moment on a job yesterday. I always messed up when trying to fish lines through attics full of that pink fluff stuff. Watched a veteran guy do it once and tried his trick of bending the rod tip just right. Did a whole house rewire without tearing up a single piece of drywall. My arms are less scratched up now too. It's a small thing but man, it makes the day smoother. Really stoked to have this tool in my brain now.

That bend is everything. So satisfying when a trick like that clicks.

Honestly can't believe someone missed the bend on that. The way the board flexes right before the pop is the whole point. It's not just any trick, that specific flex makes the catch way cleaner. Seeing it stiff would look totally wrong.

Looks like any other trick to me.
