Greenlee FTXS-125BP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What lengths does the Greenlee REEL-X steel fish tape bulk pack come in?
Two lengths: 125 feet (FTXS-125BP) and 240 feet (FTXS-240BP). Both are 1/8 inch steel tape in the same REEL-X case. Pick the 240 foot version if you are running long conduit or raceway pulls and do not want to stop and switch reels mid-job; the 125 foot covers most branch circuit and residential runs.
2) How much pulling force can the Greenlee FTXS REEL-X fish tape take before it fails?
The steel tape is rated to 400 lb tensile strength. That covers typical conduit pulls with head and lube, but it is the limit of the tape itself, not a recommendation to hang on it with a come-along. If you are consistently exceeding that on long congested runs, you want rope and a puller rather than a fish tape.
3) Can I measure a conduit run with this fish tape instead of using a tape measure?
Yes. The 1/8 inch steel tape carries laser-etched measurement markings along its length, so you read the footage off the tape as you fish. That lets you measure and fish in one pass, which is what most electricians use it for when estimating wire pulls.
4) Do I have to buy a whole new fish tape when the steel tape wears out?
No. The REEL-X case opens easily and takes a replacement quick-change reel cartridge, so you swap the worn tape and keep the case. Same access is used for cleaning grit and lube out of the housing after dirty pulls.
5) Should I use a steel fish tape or a fiberglass rod for my conduit run?
Steel is the choice here. The FTXS REEL-X is 1/8 inch round steel, which snakes bends and long raceway runs a rigid rod cannot follow, and it coils back into the case for transport. Fiberglass rods are the better pick for short straight shots, above ceilings, or anywhere you need a non-conductive tool near energized gear. For 240 foot commercial conduit pulls, the steel tape is the tool.
6) How do I attach wire or a pulling head to the end of the Greenlee REEL-X tape?
The tape terminates in a formed eye end, so you tie line, attach a pulling grip, or loop conductors straight through it. No separate tip or leader has to be fitted before the first pull.
7) Does this Greenlee fish tape have a handle, and can I work it hands-free?
It ships with no handles (zero handles, less-handles configuration). The case is built to be set down on the floor while you fish, which frees both hands, and the interior reel spins freely so the tape pays out without you cranking. A built-in storage lock holds the tape in the case in the truck.
8) Is the REEL-X fish tape case tough enough for daily jobsite use?
The case is ABS with an anti-bind design, in Greenlee green. Anti-bind matters more than it sounds: it keeps the coil from jamming on itself during long pulls, which is where most fish tape fatigue and kinked tape comes from. Greenlee also lists the tape as REACH compliant.
9) Is this fish tape suitable for low-voltage and data cable work, or just power wiring?
Both. Greenlee lists the FTXS REEL-X for cable installation and pulling, conduit and raceway fishing, commercial and industrial wiring, and low-voltage and data cable installation, in new construction and renovation alike. The 1/8 inch steel tape with a formed eye handles Cat cable pull strings the same way it handles branch circuit conductors.
