Klein Tools Conduit Measuring Pull Tape, 2500-Pound

Two lengths: 1000 feet (part 50141) and 3000 feet (part 50142). Both are the same 2500 lb (1134 kg) tensile strength flat tape, white with black markings, supplied in a bucket for storage and transport.

The tape is printed with descending 1-foot increments, so as you pay it out the number tells you both how far you've gone into the run and how much tape is still left in the bucket. That means one pass through the conduit gives you the run length for cutting wire, no separate measuring needed.

No. Klein states not to use it on live circuits, because the tape can wick moisture and become conductive. De-energize and verify before pulling.

Flat woven polyester like this spreads the pull load across the tape's width instead of concentrating it on a single point, and it stretches less than rope under load. It's pre-lubricated to cut friction in the conduit. Steel fish tape is the tool for pushing through an empty run; this tape is for the pull itself and for measuring the run at the same time. It's rated for wire and cable installation only, not overhead lifting.

The tape measures 0.76 inches (2 cm) overall width and lies flat, so it takes up little cross-section in the raceway compared with a round rope of equivalent strength.

It ships in a bucket with a hole in the lid, so you feed the tape out through the lid for controlled, tangle-free payout and the coil stays contained. The bucket doubles as the storage and transport container between jobs.
