Klein Tools 56002 Depthfinder Fish Tape 65 Ft Steel

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 56002 is a steel fish tape designed for professional electricians pulling wire and cable through conduit and walls. The tape measures 65 feet in length and is 1/8 inch wide, with depth markings in 1-inch increments that allow the installer to gauge insertion depth without guesswork. The 9-inch diameter reel keeps the tape organized and reduces kinking during retrieval. This tool was developed with input from working electricians to improve pulling accuracy and reduce fatigue on the job.

The 56002 is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where fish tape is required to route conductors through conduit runs, wall cavities, and cable trays. The depth-finding markings are particularly useful in long conduit runs where knowing how far the tape has traveled saves time and reduces the chance of overrunning a junction box or pull point. Licensed electricians and apprentices working under NEC-governed installations will find this tape fits standard workflow on both new construction and retrofit jobs.

Key Features

• Depth markings in 1-inch increments for accurate insertion measurement during pulls
• 65-foot steel tape provides reach for medium to long conduit runs
• 1/8-inch tape width compatible with standard conduit sizes
• 9-inch diameter reel reduces coil memory and kinking
• Steel construction resists stretching and holds its shape under tension

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fish tape for standard conduit fishing applications in residential and commercial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Fish tape installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or qualified apprentices working under applicable NEC guidelines. Always de-energize circuits in the work area before feeding tape through conduit to avoid contact with live conductors. Feed the tape smoothly to prevent kinking, and retract slowly after the pull to maintain reel condition. Wear appropriate PPE including gloves when handling steel tape, as edges can be sharp.
