Klein Tools 50159 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many rods come in the Klein 50159 glow rod set and how long is each one?
The Klein Tools 50159 kit is three 5-foot fiberglass rods, 5/32-inch diameter, that thread together into a 15-foot run. You can also use one or two sections alone for short pulls above a ceiling or inside a wall cavity, which is usually easier to handle than the full length.
2) Can I use a fiberglass glow rod on live electrical circuits?
No. Klein states plainly that the 50159 glow rod is never to be used on or near electrical circuits. Kill the circuit before fishing. The rod is a wire-pulling tool, not a rated insulating tool.
3) Are Klein Hi-Flex glow rods flexible enough to get around bends in a wall or drop ceiling?
That is what the Hi-Flex rating is for. At 5/32-inch diameter these are the thinnest, most flexible rods in the Klein fish rod line, so they bend around tight framing, offsets and congested ceiling spaces. The tradeoff is push: a thin flexible rod will not push as far horizontally across an open ceiling as a thicker stiff rod, so for long straight runs step up in diameter.
4) Do I need to buy tips separately, or does the Klein 50159 come with attachments?
Tips are included. The 50159 ships with a bullet nose for pushing through insulation and openings, plus a hook for grabbing and pulling wire back. Both store in an internal canister inside the rod tube itself, so they ride with the rods instead of loose in a pouch.
5) Will these rods connect to other Klein fish rods I already own?
Yes. The stainless steel connectors on the 50159 are the same system used to reinforce connections between Klein fish rods, so you can extend the 15-foot Hi-Flex set with additional Klein sections rather than starting a separate kit.
6) What does the glow feature actually do on the job?
The rods glow bright green after light exposure, so in an unlit attic, crawlspace or above a dropped ceiling you can see where the tip ended up without a second person holding a light. The green glow also flags them at a glance as the high-flexibility rods when they are mixed in with other Klein rods in the van.
7) Will fiberglass fish rods leave splinters in my hands?
These are coated. The Splinter Guard coating over the fiberglass is there specifically to keep fiberglass splinters out of your hands during repeated pushing and pulling. Eye protection is still called for while fishing.
8) How much does a 15-foot Klein glow rod set weigh to carry up a ladder?
The full 50159 set is 0.87 lbs, so all three sections together are light enough to carry one-handed on a ladder or lift. Broken down, each section is 5 feet, which fits a standard van bin or bucket.
9) Are Klein 50159 glow rods made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the 50159 Hi-Flex glow rod set is the United States, which matters if you are buying against a domestic-preference purchasing policy.
