Flexible rods
 

What's the proper name for the thin rods you screw together like drain rods
which are used for feeding electrical cable through awkward places.
I've tried every permutation I could think of on ebay but no joy as yet.
Ta.

Thanks all, loads available on Ebay, very cheap compared with the sites
given by yourselves. This implies to me me that they are probably poor
quality, any suggestions or comments?

Tried tying a piece of string to the tail of a mouse and sending that up the

Best ones seem to be the 'Cable rod /super rod' variant [IMHO] .
Good range of accessories, flexible leads etc.
We have about 7 other sets of varying manufacture. They do get
abused, but 1) the ends pull off. Can be cleaned up and super
glue / epoxied back on, if you can find them!. 2) Bending causes the
fibres to become detached on the outer 'skin'....hurts like feck when
the get stuck in your skin. hth

Does require the use of blowlamp behind the mouse to get it going though!
