Greenlee FTS438 Series Steel Fish Tape, MagnumPRO

The Greenlee FTS438 Series Steel Fish Tape is engineered for professional electricians and contractors who demand reliable performance when pulling wire through conduit and raceway systems. Part of the MagnumPRO sub-brand line, this family of fish tapes is built from oil-tempered spring steel and is available in tape lengths ranging from 65 ft up through 240 ft (3 Pack) bulk configurations, including a 100 ft option in 1/4 IN wide tape and 125 ft standard and bulk-pack options, so contractors can match the tape length to the job at hand. Every tape in the FTS438 Series shares a maximum design strength of 400.000 LB (1.700 KN), giving installers the confidence to tackle demanding fishing jobs across a wide range of conduit sizes. A low-profile tip and smaller fish eye with offset bend make navigating tight conduit runs easier, while a viewing port lets you monitor remaining tape length and clear jobsite debris quickly. Made in the United States, these fish tapes are designed for excellent fishing performance from short residential runs to long commercial pulls.
