Have found Am-Tech and Draper.

Have a bit of conduit to do and will find this very useful.

Any advice from the sparks or others who have good Fish Tapes?

For the amount of conduit you are going to be doing , any nylon draw wire will do you , or there are some nice ones made by Super rod on ebay at the moment. I just happen to have a brand new nylon drawtape in my possession, it yours for a modest fee of course. Just PM me and will sort it out

Eh my favourite store.

Super Rod I like, that's the proper gear.

But as you say I'm an armature

The super rods (although they are the daddy of all rods) are not really designed for use with conduit as they are too rigid to get around bends, and to pull out of inspection bends and the like.

The best thing to use is a nylon draw tape as suggested by sparkydude. They are only £6 at screwfix Clicky

Failing this, a length of 4.0mm² singles usually does the trick.

super rod do drawtapes now, look on ebay , think it is called a black mamaba or similiar, i have one but not used it yet , seems good though as it is not anywhere near as springy as normal ones. Super rod also do draw tapes called flat rat , they re great for fishing down stud walls.
