What about the other suggestion of using smaller diameter/stiffer object

I haven't come up with anything like that to try yet. A clothes
hanger just bends and isn't long enough anyway. The fish tape at the
nearby hardware is $45 and I'd rather not spring for that much for
this one-time job.

If, as Mike says, you're hitting blocking, your choice is give up or cut
an access hole to drill through it.

The studfinder shows no blocking.


Is it just fiberglass batts or something more dense?
