I make kleins fish tape. All their fish tape. The level of effort required to get the blue color they require for their steel wire is unreal. They laser etch it, and the lasers require a deep blue to run correctly. You have a 25ft reel, I run 1000lb reels, or tens of thousands feet of fish tape. I'm glad to see people who use this product, I put a lot of work into making the steel wire, as I'm sure Klein puts tons of work into making their consumer reels.

Wait is that why my ex coworker screamed at me for 15 minutes for leaving his fish tape on a roof for a week? I’m still using the exact same roll of steel fish tape since I trashed it and it works exceptionally well for me. It just looks like rusty steel flatwire

@bobziroll Жыл бұрын

Do you have any advice on how to easily roll and unroll the tape? I’ve tried 3 different reels in the past from Klein and they’re always a huge pain to wind and unwind. I must be doing something wrong…

I recommend cutting the bottom corners also. It's very easy for the bottom side of the tip to snag in obscure places. For example, after you've pushed the tape out of a conduit and then trying to pull it back (because you're in the wrong conduit, for example), it can easily get stuck at the opening because the bottom side of the tip will snag. You'll then have then go to the other side of the conduit (assuming you know where it's at!) simply to release the tip and push the tip back in. Btw, this tape is about 20-30% weaker than the regular steel tape, so I rarely use it.

Why are the markings backwards? The 25ft mark is at the beginning of the tape?

@@TheDurbinCompound My co-workers and I have been trying to wrap our brains around this all morning. The Klein website says "so that if the tape breaks, you'll know how much is still left on the reel". Well, I couldn't give two nickels about how much is left on the reel, I want to know how much tape is in the pipe. I want to know how far down I'm getting hung up, how long the conduit is, how far down to the bend ect. "Well, all you have to do is subtract the marking from the reel length" So, Kein added a complication as a feature? If that's the case, why choose subtraction? If the goal was a complication, why didn't they use a factor of pi? After some internet sleuthing, I found a patent for: "The fish tape includes a measuring scale. The tape is scaled from zero to a number equal to the length of the tape." I figure, Klein didn't want to pay royalties on a patent so they reversed it: "The fish tape includes a measuring scale. The tape is scaled from a number equal to the length of the tape to zero" Just when I was starting to like Klein and some of their new stuff on the market, they've once again drove me to their competitors.

@heavymetalmadness666 4 жыл бұрын

I surely can't speak for any codes may exist from any state or locality, but i think most only use stranded wire in conduit is because it pulls easier and there for may allow more wires in said size conduit. I don't care what anyone says stranded wire isn't as good as solid when considering decades or nearly a century.What is important is how the wire is coated and if you are using metal conduit chamfer all the cuts you make on the conduit no matter what type of wire you are pulling. That said my advice is for ridge conduit. Even with metal flex I would be hesitant to use solid core in many applications. I have a magnetic tool with a copper rod and it gets bent every which way and back a lot.Most wire failures I see in the automotive industry have to deal with first failure of the coating, and then likely corrosion starting at that point, or perhaps just how it will stress the copper more at only that one area more. I base that observation off how many cars have wires broken where the doors opens. One broken wire and 4 or more good wires with cracks through the coating They will no doubt break someday where the coating failed

@nicholasadams4198 8 ай бұрын

It's OK to run solid wire . The reason romex isn't allowed is because of temperature potential. The way you ensure that solid wire doesn't get destroyed while it's being pulled is to use correct conduit, correct fittings, install the conduct in the right direction, and there can only be 360 ° of turns between pull points .

The Klein 50’ steel one is garbage. It gets all jammed trying to roll it back up. One use tool, then straight to the trash. No one has time to take it apart everytime you use it.
