LSD for certain, I've never used their equal. I like the 36' set with one real glow in the dark rod and the rest normal (Creepzit pro I think). The only accessory I use regularly is the long chinese finger trap style wire pulling sock, it works really well. I've never used the ball chain and only occasionally use the wire or plastic whisk. The lighted tip is new and sounds cool and useful.

I also have a 2' rod they gave me at cedia, and it gets used fairly often, usually lieka giant sewing needle for insulation or in gardens for speaker wire.
More zip ties!

There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

The lighted tip is new? I thought they had an optional tip with an LED ten years ago.

The LED are good for some things, not so much for others. Too flexible for horizontal reach, but they can be doubled up, if it's not too far. I have BES and they're thicker, stiffer, smoother (I got tired of the fiberglass sticking into my hands when I used LSD) and it's easier to stick a tiny rare earth magnet on the tip because there's more surface area.

For long horizontal reach, I bought a collapsible 20' surf casting rod- I taped a hook to the tip and because it's less than a pound, it's not hard to handle when it's fully extended.

Brendon,
I've had LSD kit for several years and liked it alot.
Someone stole mine just before X-Mas so I ended up getting another one.
Got one from your new 3 letter supplier at decent price.
Caution; there is now a kit that does NOT come with the chinese finger trap thingy so be sure you get the right kit. I'll have to see if I can buy that gizmo as an add-on.

I think they have a kit with all of the optional tips.

Yeap;
I didn't realize that LSD has different kits.
ADI only has 30' kit in their system so that's what I ordered.
The 36' kit has the gizmo.

I just called my branch and they're ordering the item separately.

This is what we're talking about and apparently it's called Mesh Pull Sock 6'x1/8 Quick Connect Tip - Female Quick Connector Tip  81-714
