Last Tuesday I had a run of bad luck with a spool of RG6 that kept kinking every 10 feet or so. I finally traced it to a bent guide on my box, not the cable itself, and had to swap to a backup spool mid job. The customer watched me struggle and asked if I needed a break, which honestly made it worse. Fixed the guide with a pair of pliers in the truck and finished the run an hour late. Has anyone else had a spool holder that quietly ruined their day without looking broken?
