Magnetic Fish Tape
Surfing around some tool blog sites today and I come across this. I wonder how well it would work behind plaster and lathe?
"To use the Magnafish system, you drop the rare-earth magnet leader through a 7/8″ hole, then capture it with a paddle magnet. Move the paddle magnet toward the opening, then extract the leader and attach your cable or wire."
On a side note, I picked up a good tip from the comments section of Toolmongers post on this item. One guy uses a rare earth magnet to find those "lost" electrical junction boxes in the wall.
