Due to a recent post, I searched for tips and found scattered comments on drilling holes and using vacuums, etc. So I wondered if any would care to share tips that we have accumulated. I'm not thinking of the specialty tool stuff but simple items like this:

1. When pulling cable down a wall with junk to move, check the other side. It may be clear!

2. Use a short piece of fish tape for fishing open walls. Use it like a needle and simply "thread" the wall.

3. Always make a hole in the top plate and see if you can fish to the floor BEFORE making a hole in the wall!

4. A length of pull light chain or something similar is great for uninsulated walls. Or a pull string with a weight attached.
