Used the fish wire for installing a front hitch on a 2012 GMC. Needed a bolt in the front crossmember tube. It worked perfectly. Wish I had known about these fish wires the last 35 years of mechanic work, many headaches could have been avoided.

I’d never heard of the fish wire technique and am actually amazed at how easy this worked for me. Thanks for the excellent instructional video.

I cannot believe how well these fish wires work. I thought there would be a lot of fiddling, but it works pretty much immediately!
