Appreciation post: a guy in a Denver attic showed me a better way to handle old coax.

I was pulling new lines in a house built in the 80s, and the old cable was stapled tight every foot. He just cut it flush at the entry point and left it in the wall instead of fighting to pull it all out. It saved us an hour on that job. What's your go-to trick for dealing with old, secured cable runs?

Yeah, I read that tip somewhere too.

That trick saved me a ton of time on my last project.

Totally, that little hack is a game changer. I tried it out when I was organizing my pantry last week and it cut the work in half. Stuff like that makes everything so much easier.
