Switched to a fish tape leader and it saved me 45 minutes on a single pull

Been using a standard steel fish tape for years and always struggled with 90 degree bends in commercial ceilings. Finally tried one of those fiberglass leaders last Tuesday on a run through 4 conduits and it went through the first try every time. Has anyone else found one tool that just kills it on specific jobs?

Ngl I read '4 conduits' and actually said "no way" out loud. That's insane it cleared all of them first try. I've had nights where I'm still fighting one bend at 9pm.

Ha, right? I gotta admit I felt a little proud just reading about someone else's success. Meanwhile I spent a solid two hours trying to get one stubborn pipe to behave and ended up just staring at it like it owed me money. It's honestly a miracle any of us get anything done sometimes.
