How to fish a wire down a wall

How to fish a wire down a wall can be tricky at times. Not all walls are created equal so knowing how to fish a wire down one wall could be different than fishing a wire down another wall. Watch as "joe" shows you how he fishes a wire down a wall.

I use fishing rods with the chian on the ends it works fast without sticking your hands up in there. oh they sell differnt sizes to. just sharing ideas thanks

@gresth36 Fishing rod huh? Never tried that before. Thanks for the tip! I've got other ways to do it too. This was just one way, for a short run. I generally use a steel tape (that I call a "fish" tape....my version of the fishing pole? lol). I use the fish tape for longer runs. It has a loop at the end that healps out too. Joe :0

@Chewylu103 Nah, nothing really pointing directly at you. I dunno how I got to this video from the other video, but for some reason you're here too lol. Anywho, just trying to say that this is a helpful video for people who have no idea what fishing wire is.

@Chewylu103 It's good to see some of my viewers communicating to one another on my video comment area. Cool! Joe :0

@strumpeteer lol are you hunting down my comments man? lol i hope you know i was being sarcastic haha

[strumpeteer]

@Chewylu103 Fat hands or not, as the latter part of the video showed, one is not required to stick his entire hand into the hole in order to fish wire.

@xx8xx Oh now you tell me that!!.....lol OK....it was the best video I've ever done....how about that?!!....not really. I did some other fishing too so not sure why I did this particular one. I just wanted viewers to get the idea that if "joe" could do it, they (you in this case) could do it too. Thanks for checking out my videos. Hope there's some videos in here, that you can use to save yourself a few bucks. If there is, let me know. If you need help with something, let me know. Joe :0

@VideoJoeKnows I was just teasing. Thanks for posting the vid ;-)

@xx8xx This was kind of a lame video to show on how to fish a wire down a wall but I had my camera set up for some other stuff so I thought I would shoot it anyway. This would be for someone who has never done this before. This technique could be used for longer runs. The best way to do this is how I'm doing it, with the box removed or at a new cutin box location, so you can get the wire down more easily. Are you feeling it a little more now?!!...lol Thanks for your comments. Joe :0
