In doing this it also helps to have a thin tube to keep between the drill and
where the wire enters the line to be cleaned as otherwise the wire will wrap
itself up into a little ball. As you feed the wire into the line, disconnect
the drill from the guide tube and replace it with shorter and shorter guide
tubes, until the wire is all the way into the line and can be pulled in and
out.
