Just tried fiberglass fish sticks over steel ones

Had a crawl space job last week in an old house. Steel fish tape kept getting hung up on the cross bracing. Bought a fiberglass one from Home Depot for 40 bucks and it went through like butter. Any of you guys switched over and not looked back?

Heard a buddy say fiberglass ones are way safer if you hit a live wire too, which makes sense since steel conducts like crazy. I read somewhere that the fiberglass can crack if you bend it too sharp though, so you gotta be careful with tight corners. Still sounds like a solid upgrade for crawl spaces honestly, I might grab one this weekend.

Grab one and just try not to bend it like a pretzel, I already snapped a cheap fiberglass fish tape doing exactly that in my first crawl space adventure
