I've never fished wire under a carpet. I imagine the padding, and any nails/staples/tape will be the real challenge. Apparently people do it. Hard to beat $12.

Usually that tool is used for pulling wires thru conduit. It's a thin piece of spring steel, rigid enough to push from one end of a conduit run to the other, yet flexible enough to go around bends. If that were what you were doing, I would strongly advise you not to shove the steel fish tape into a live panel.

Hopefully there is no risk of electric shock lying await underneath the carpeting in this apartment.
