Klein Tools 56002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How long and how thick is the Klein Tools 56002 fish tape?
The Klein 56002 carries 65 feet of high strength spring steel tape measuring 1/8 inch wide by 0.062 inch thick (19.8 m x 0.3 cm x 0.2 cm). That cross section is stiff enough to push long conduit runs on its own and to take heavy duty wire pulls without buckling in the pipe.
2) What kind of end does the Klein 56002 fish tape have, and can I bend my own hook?
It comes with a double loop steel end. Klein is specific that a pulling loop must only ever be formed as a double loop, never a single fish hook shape, because a single loop or sharp edge catches on obstructions and can cut the insulation on wires already in the pipe.
3) Is a steel fish tape safe to use in a panel or near energized conductors?
No. Steel conducts, and Klein states plainly that no fish tape should be used on or near live circuits. De-energize and verify before fishing, and use extreme caution anywhere near electrical equipment. If you routinely fish near gear that cannot be shut down, a non-conductive fiberglass or nylon fish tape is the right tool instead of this steel one.
4) Can I tell how far the fish tape has gone down the conduit run?
Yes. The steel tape is laser etched in 1-foot (0.3 m) increments, so you can read off the depth of the conduit run as you feed and also see how much tape is still on the reel before you run out mid pull.
5) Is 65 feet of 1/8-inch steel tape enough for a typical commercial branch circuit run?
For most single-story branch runs, wall drops, and conduit between boxes, 65 feet covers it, and the 1/8 inch by 0.062 inch spring steel section pushes well over distance and around bends. For long risers or multi-floor feeder runs you will want more length than this reel holds. Check your longest pull against the 1-foot etched markings on the tape to know what you actually used.
6) Can I open the reel to replace or shorten the steel tape?
Do not remove the screws while the tape is coiled inside the reel. The tape is spring steel under tension and releasing the case with it wound in can let it spring out. Klein also calls for approved eye protection any time you are feeding, pulling, or rewinding.
7) How big is the reel and how heavy is it to carry on a ladder?
The case is 9 inches in diameter with a 12.25 inch depth and 2 inch height figure, and the whole tool weighs 2.6 lbs loaded with 65 feet of tape. That is light enough for one-hand work off a ladder. The case and handle are polypropylene for impact resistance if it gets dropped.
8) Can one person rewind this fish tape quickly after a pull?
Rewinding is a one-hand-over-hand job here. The sloped handle sets your hand at an angle for fast hand-over-hand winding, and raised finger grips put your full hand and finger power into the reel. The full grip style handle also gives you something solid to hold while pulling tape out of the case.
9) What is the exact part number to order the Klein 65-foot steel fish tape?
Order Klein Tools model 56002. That is the 65-foot steel fish tape with the 1/8 inch wide tape and double loop steel end.
