Skip says it best. The job at hand and the construction of the building will determine the way to do it.

Try a search engine. These are available from Klein, Greenlee, Pushpullrods, Labor Saving Devices, etc. etc. They are a set of screw together rods that can come with differnet hardware like eyes and hooks to attach a "wet noodle" or various devices to catch it in the wall. https://www.google.com/search?q=fib..._rfai=&pbx=1&fp=180c07a4ca199aa8

If I'm into finesse, I also use a MagnaPull system. https://www.magnepull.com/

Oh I see. Just some rods that screw together. These are very useful for running cable horizontally thru a crowded space above a ceiling. But for vertical drops I use a two-foot section of heavy chain attached to about 10 feet of string. This usually works well. It is also handy to have a magnet on a stick to grab the chain in the outlet hole if the drop is not strictly vertical.

Another good way to run cable horizontally above a ceiling is to use a tennis ball. Slice it open to attach a string. and throw it as far as you can. Since you took the air out it won't bounce around much, which is a good thing.

What I would not use is a fish tape. In my experience these things have a mind of their own and are very hard to get down inside a wall to the outlet hole. Fish tape was made to be pushed thru conduit, and it is great for that, though.

I think the easiest way would be to drill through, break through the paper with a hanger, and feed through with the glow rod. It's strange, that job I mentioned I did earlier I seem to remember the paper being against the exterior because I remember feeding a glow rod between paper and a wall.

If you are going to use a fish tape for fishing wall cavities, try a wide flat tape, like this one

Very easy to control, and will pierce through the insulation.

Try not to DEFACE the insulation. It'll take away from the "R" value. wink

I had that same wide flat Greenlee fishtape, but the plastic end came off and the whole tape wound up inside of it. Given that it is under tension, I thought it wouldn't be a smart idea to take apart the plastic housing to fix it. Unless I am mistaken.

I have that same tape by GB and I dont see any way to take it apart . I wouldn't be concerned about the tension as much as getting it apart and back together ...

like Tommy said it works great and is easy to control I use it a lot
