49 Feet Fiberglass Fish Tape Wire Puller Through Wall Wire Threader Fish Plus Fish Cable Fastener

My old steel tape had broken and i was looking for an upgrade. This replacement tape spooled into my holder without any issues. I find it easier to use than the steel tape.

I had maybe a 25 foot section of flexible conduit to fish some cables through. It wasn't something I'd attempted before, and I found it a frustrating experience at first. I tried using a nylon and a flat steel tape and didn't think to use lubricant, which was silly. Ended up on Amazon looking for other options, and this was one (and some Klein lubricant) I found.I believe I read in another review that this tape tends to extend itself all by itself. It does do that. It is a little more rigid even than the flat steel tape. In my case that was helpful. Its rigidity and very thin profile, plus that little bit of lube, helped it scoot right through the non-metallic flexible conduit. The cable fastener and some electrical tape did a better job of securing my wires, and I got them pulled with a little more lube and minimum of fuss.Storing it hasn't been a problem. It does like to flatten, but it will allow itself to be coiled and keep itself there with its ends tucked in.

This slender fiberglass fish "tape" is a thin round rod about 3/16" in diameter (maybe slightly larger) and 50 feet long. It held up well pulling CAT6 though an office plenum. I avoided sharp bends, as I read other reviewers who mentioned their tape broke. I had no problems, and the item seems plenty strong and flexible so long as you don't abuse it.It includes a couple screw-on tips: a "spring" tip end that helps when feeding (pushing) this tape, and another designed to hold wire. But these accessories can easily unscrew themselves, and I lost the spring end while retrieving the tape. Had I known, I would have unscrewed this spring end and applied some Teflon tape (or perhaps Locktite) to the threads before reattaching it.

very good

I purchased this to pull electrical wire through 1/2 inch electrical PVC pipe. The pipe was 45 ft long with 5 large radius 90 degree bends of seal tight. This 4 mm fish tape is way too thin and too flexible, could not push more than 20 ft of tape into the pipe.I also purchased a 4.5mm green twisted fish tape. This tape almost looks like a large weed wacker trim line. I had no problem fishing this line through and pulling 6 -12 gauge stranded wires through the 1/2 inch PVC pipe. I also have a metal fish tape for metal pipes, but I like the nylon tapes for PVC pipe. For the price it is a good investment.

I had to replace a pool light fixture and run a cord through 30’ conduit. I have a steel one and thick fiberglass one that I could not push through. This thin yellow one… wow! I could pass it through from either end every time! I did eventually break it, so now it’s only 40’… but I’m still keeping it in my arsenal. I loved it so much I tried to buy another but 130’ instead. It’s not exactly the same, but very impressed with what the yellow one can do. Probably not the best for pulling, but best for pushing all the way through.

I got exactly what I deserved with a 15 dollar tool. The thing doesn't travel straight within a wall because it is coiled and flimsy like a wet noodle. It has no reason to be for sale.

I’m happy with the product. It is easy to push through a conduit and then pull the wires back through. Works well. I just wish I had bought the next longest oneIf it had a case to wind it back into it would be better - but then it would cost more…
