A 12 point socket is fine if you actually seat it all the way, the tool ain't the problem.

The "kinks and re-pulls for an hour" part is exactly what made me finally try a glow rod, so I get it. I used to be the guy who said fish tape was fine and glow rods were just a gimmick, until a 70 foot run with two 90s humbled me. Now mine lives in the truck and I never look back.

@mila_harris short term pain long term gain, that's the whole game right there. I've watched guys chase the fast cash and yeah they make a quick buck but then they're back at zero the next month begging for new customers. Regulars are the ones who keep the lights on when things get slow. Takes patience and it feels awful watching the numbers drop at first, but that base builds up and it dont leave. Quick money is loud but steady money is quiet and it sticks around.
