Looks like it would be a good addition to your fishing gear. Price seems reasonable.

I notice the video is showing it being used on uninsulated walls
I think the magnapull would be a better product for insulated walls with the flex leader on the inside wall magnet

Careful with those things, but I'm sure you know.
I use rare earth magnets all the time, they're cheap, come in a huge variety, easy to find on the internet and really strong magnetically. Tape them to poles and catch a bolt on a string, fish through a hollow wall, magnet on both sides for insulated walls, stuff like that. Just keep them far, far away from a computer or any hard drive (disaster potential is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the magnet and the magnetically challenged device). Zapping a customer's voice mail or file server would be bad.
Alternately, good for erasing hard drives.

Looks good Anthony, though I'm with catfish: a speaker magnet hot glued inside a clear Tupperware container, a drop chain, and heat shrinked all thread leader (goes to a coax patch cord) work for me. All in one container as well.

The question is more important than the answer.

I've never used them, so would like to know the advantage. Fished a lot of walls, open chain or weighted string, insulated fish tape.

a lot of walls here around here are insulted and with drop ceilings ac vents ,file cabinets etc etc etc ... its not always a direct shot down from the top plate to where you would like the jack
with the magna pull I am able to quickly direct the pull string anywhere within the stud bay
its just one more "trick "in the bag (or truck ) to get the job done quickly and professorially and to make difficult pulls easy
it might sit in the truck unused 6 weeks but when its needed its really nice to have

It's definitely nice to have options.
