- Q.Any tips for
wire-snaking?
A. A fish tape and small holes
at the top and bottom of a wall make for a pretty
minimal mess. Long, flexible drill bits are
available for drilling across several joists at a
time.
I have used a 6-foot flexible drill bit for
drilling through hidden studs and snaking wires.
Here’s a tip: Find one of those nylon
nets, like you might find wrapped around a frozen
turkey. Keep it in your tool box. You can tie a
wire onto it, stuff it into a little hole in a
wall, then you might be able to hook it with your
fish tape from your fishing location.
