Re: Tricks of the trade.
When working alone and fishing in walls, or if your hands are too large to fit in to old work cut outs to grasp the fish tape, use your measuring tape fold it in half forming a loop. Push the loop into the void, the tape will fill the void with the loop. Tape the free ends together, Now you can drop your fish tape down the wall, the tape "SHOULD" land in the loop formed by the measuring tape, pull the loop out and the fish tape with it. Well in theroy, anybody that fishes in walls knows not all is perfect.
