This is the Klein 56059 — a 200-foot fish tape built from non-conductive fiberglass rod rather than steel, so it can be used around energized circuits without the shock risk a metal tape creates. The multi-groove profile gives the rod enough stiffness to push through long conduit runs while staying flexible enough to turn elbows, and it’s rated to pull 500 pounds of wire without fracturing.
It’s the fish tape used on commercial and industrial jobs where pulls run through long conduit runs, crowded trays, or around live gear — the 3/16-inch diameter fits most EMT sizes and the 200-foot length covers the longer branches a 50 or 100-foot tape can’t reach. The reel is a sealed case that keeps the tape clean and uncoiled between pulls.
Klein Tools has been making hand tools for electricians and tradespeople since 1857, headquartered in Lincolnshire, Illinois. The Journeyman and Standard pliers lines — along with many of Klein’s cushion-grip screwdrivers — are forged and finished in the United States, and clearly marked as such, so you know exactly what you’re buying.
