Klein Tools 56119 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Klein 56119 illuminated fish rod tip pass through a 5/8-inch drilled hole?
Yes. The 56119 tip measures 0.578 inch in diameter and is rated to pass through drilled holes as small as 5/8 inch. Its tapered end helps it push and pull through studs and plates without hanging up. If your bored holes are smaller than 5/8 inch, you will need to ream them before fishing with this tip.
2) Does the illuminated tip thread onto a standard fish rod, and does it come with a hook or bullet nose?
The 56119 attaches to a fish rod on one end and has a threaded top on the other for a hook or bullet nose attachment. Those attachments are not supplied, so if you want to run a hook for grabbing wire or a bullet nose for a clean push, order it separately.
3) Can I use a lighted fish rod tip to pull wire in an energized panel or near live circuits?
No. The 56119 is not for use on or near live electrical circuits. De-energize the circuit before fishing. Klein also calls for approved eye protection and a stable work position, since the real risk with rods is losing your balance on a ladder while pushing against resistance.
4) Are the batteries in the Klein 56119 replaceable or is the whole tip disposable?
Batteries are included and they are replaceable, so the tip isn't a throwaway once the light dims. The LED itself is a bright white omni-directional type chosen for long life, which means it throws light all around the tip rather than in one beam, so you can see it from an offset access hole.
5) How long is the Klein 56119 fish rod tip, and will the extra length affect how the rod bends in a wall cavity?
The lighted tip adds only 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) of overall length at 0.578 inch across, so it's a short rigid section on the end of the rod. In a tight cavity, plan for that 2.5 inches of stiff nose when you're working a rod around a fire block or into a ceiling plenum.
6) What does a lighted fish rod tip actually get me over a plain bullet nose when fishing walls?
The point of the 56119 is visibility. The tip lights up, so when you push a rod across a dark stud bay, above a drop ceiling, or down a chase, you can spot where the end actually came out instead of guessing or cutting another access hole. A plain bullet nose is cheaper and slimmer, but you lose the glow and the ability to see the tip from a remote opening. Note the 56119 is the lighted tip itself, not a rod set, so it goes on rods you already own.
7) How much does the Klein 56119 lighted tip weigh? I don't want it loading the end of a long rod run.
Product weight is listed at 5 oz (141 g). On a long multi-section rod push that's noticeable but small, and it's light enough that it won't flop a fiberglass rod on vertical fishes.
8) What is the Klein part number for the illuminated fish rod tip so I can match it on a purchase order?
Order it as Klein Tools 56119, the illuminated fish rod tip. It's covered by U.S. Patent No. 9,062,834, which is a useful cross-check if a supplier offers a look-alike lighted tip under a different number.
