The 45ft rods worked for me when nothing else would!
Had to get through a bunch of insulation and this did the trick. A few rods broke, but not a big deal as the 45 foot comes with a lot of them and i was only going 25 foot to install a ceiling speaker.

Interesting alternative to traditional fishtape
I got this to fish some wire through a soffit. I liked the variety of attachments, including a noose, hook, and other attachments. When fully assembled, it can definitely start to sag under its own weight, but you get a degree of dexterity you don't get with a fishtape because it's less springy, and it's good for working in small spaces. I think it wouldn't completely replace fish tape but definitely has some interesting applications.

Good product
Worked good. Did over bend and broke one. I recommend using the connectors until u get used to how much u can flex them.

NOT DURABLE
Disappointing and Poorly Made - Broke on First UseI rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to after using this wire fishing tool. Unfortunately, it was a complete waste of money. I had high hopes, but it broke during my very first attempt at using it. The construction feels flimsy and cheap, and the tool simply couldn’t handle even the lightest pressure.The wire snapped easily, and after just a few uses, the mechanism that holds everything together failed. It’s clear that the materials are subpar and not designed for anything more than light, occasional use. If you're looking for a durable and reliable tool, I’d definitely recommend looking elsewhere.I was hoping for something to help with fishing tasks, but instead, I’m left with a broken piece of junk. Extremely disappointed

Perfect
I recently purchased the FTIHTRY 22FT Fiberglass Running Electrical Wire Cable Glow Rods Wire Pulling Kit, and I have to say it's been a game-changer for my electrical work. This kit comes with 22 feet of durable fiberglass rods and 8 different attachments, making it an incredibly versatile tool for running wires and cables.The first thing that impressed me was the quality of the fiberglass rods. They are sturdy, yet flexible, allowing me to navigate through tight spaces and around corners with ease. The glow feature is a fantastic addition, making it much easier to work in dimly lit areas or inside walls where visibility is limited. The rods are also marked with length indicators, which is a handy feature for measuring distances while working.The variety of attachments included in the kit is impressive. From hooks and magnets to a mini flashlight attachment, these accessories make it possible to tackle a wide range of wire pulling tasks. I found the hook attachments particularly useful for grabbing and guiding wires through conduits and tight spaces.One standout feature of this kit is the fish tape wire puller. It's a great addition for those situations where the fiberglass rods alone may not suffice. The combination of the rods and the wire puller gives you a comprehensive set of tools for almost any wire installation job.Overall, the FTIHTRY 22FT Fiberglass Running Electrical Wire Cable Glow Rods Wire Pulling Kit is a valuable addition to any electrician or DIY enthusiast's toolkit. It's well-made, versatile, and the glow feature adds a level of convenience that's hard to beat. This kit has made my wire-pulling tasks much more manageable, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable wire-pulling solution.

Good pricing for the length but too flimsy...for the length
It's a budget option compared to the fiberglass rods at home depot and lowes, and they're more segmented to, I assume, help with shipping costs. This leads to weak points in the brass connections as others have mentioned, but also, it's effectively useless after say 15 feet if you're trying to move horizontally, unsupported, as the rods are wayyyy too flexibile. If you're going horizonitally this works as 3x 15ft segments, but not as a 1x 45 foot segment. I didnt really use this vertically in wall cavities so maybe it's better suited there, with it has more support and it can be segmented more.

Worked like a charm with mods
Bought this set to replace my father in laws set that he used back in the 70s. His set had 5 foot long fiberglass rods with the same screw type method. Just like in the 70s, you had to be careful when installing communication wire with this style. You CAN NOT cram, jam, force the rod. If it gets stuck, pull back and re insert. If you have to, jiggle it......Yes, like other reviews have stated, there rods will unscrew from each other when in the wall. That is how the tips end up breaking from bends Be proactive. What I did was take 4 rods, and created 1 four foot section. I used clear epoxy on the threads and thighten them snugged. Then slipped over heat wrap and to help reinforce the connection. Obviously these sections are permanent which was my goal. When you connect each 4 foot section, just use a small amount of duct tape after you snuggle them up.Worked great for as I needed to run another Cat 6 line and lost my tracer line (Old trick; run a durable string line with your cable if you plan to revisit the area in the future so you don't need to redo the rod)All in all, this was an extreme value for the money. Sometimes you just need to be creative with the product. Saved $ as usual DYI vs having someone do it.

Saved Me So Much Time
Holy cow! This is a bargain! I needed to run wiring under a stage about 20 feet. For the price, I bought the 45' version. This cut my work time from hours of struggling to get around the support posts to, literally, 6 minutes. Solely as a precaution I did take the time to wrap each joint with electrical tape so that that sections would not come undone.This is definitely a toll that I would recommend.
