Got a coax line stuck in a wall cavity on a job in Tempe.

It was a tight retrofit and the fish tape just would not pull through. Grabbed a shop vac and a plastic bag, taped the bag over the other outlet to make a seal. Sucked the line right through in about ten seconds. Anyone got a better trick for a really stubborn pull?

Tempe, huh? That heat must've cooked your brain.

That shop vac trick is genius. I once spent like an hour trying to muscle a line through before I thought of that.

Holy crap, you taped a bag to a wall outlet? That's wild. @tylerbutler I gotta agree, that's a solid trick I've never heard of before.
