Tried using a cheap fish tape from Harbor Freight and it broke on the second pull

I figured I'd save a few bucks on a 25 foot fish tape for a basic coax run in a drop ceiling. The wire snapped inside the wall and I spent an extra hour fishing it out with a magnet. Anybody else had bad luck with budget tools on a simple job?

My buddy tried the same thing and his broke before he even got it out of the package.

Yeah those cheap ones are just stiff wire, total garbage. Get a steel tape.
