Tried using a $15 fish tape from Harbor Freight on a tough pull through a 2-inch conduit in an old Phoenix apartment building and it bent like a paperclip halfway through.
What's your go-to brand for a fish tape that can actually handle a stubborn pull without kinking?

Ugh, Harbor Freight tools are for toys. Get a Greenlee. That cheap stuff folds every time.

Man, @smith.elliot I feel that. I've had a couple of their cheaper tools just give up on me mid-job. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for.

Toys" is a bit harsh, I've had some of their stuff last for years. That fish tape is just a bad pick for a tough pull in old conduit. Sometimes the cheap tool is fine, but you gotta know when to step up.
