Which, in a roundabout way, brings me to mention my new favorite trick of the trade....
When pulling down on a rope...I figured out a new, lazy way to do it. Make a loop in the rope, with the bottom of the loop about knee-high. Hold the two parts of the rope together at eye level. Insert foot into loop and step up- your weight does all the pulling!
This also works if your fish tape is one of thise made out of a coil, such as the Ideal "Slick-Tape."
