Klein Tools Mid-Flex Glow Rod Set

Three lengths: a 5 foot rod (part 50052), a 9 foot rod (part 56409), and a 15 foot rod (part 56415). Each is a single fiberglass rod rather than a multi-piece kit, so pick the length by the run you are fishing or buy more than one and couple them together.

Yes. The mid-flex glow rod uses stainless steel connectors that join to all Klein fish rods, so it is meant to be added to an existing Klein fish rod set as a flexible extension section.

No. The manufacturer warning is explicit: never use the rod on or near electrical circuits. De-energize and verify the circuit before fishing, and work from a stable position so you do not lose balance while pushing the rod.

Mid-flex is the middle of the road bend: enough give to work around a bend or offset in conduit, enough backbone to push a run. Use a stiffer rod when you need to push long straight runs or across open ceiling bays without the rod collapsing, and a more flexible rod when you are working tight radius bends or snaking a wall cavity. The mid-flex covers a wide range of wire pulls, which is why it is a common add-on section to a rod set.

The bright yellow finish does two jobs. It glows so you can see the rod in a dark ceiling plenum, crawl space, or unlit wall cavity, and the color also codes the rod's flex level so you can tell a mid-flex section from the other rods in your set at a glance when you are coupling them up.

A bullet nose comes on the rod for affixing wire, so you can tie or tape your pull line or conductors directly to the tip without buying a separate attachment to get started.

The rod is fiberglass but carries a Splinter Guard coating over it, which is there specifically to keep fiberglass splinters out of your hands during repeated pulls. Still wear approved eye protection when working with it.

Made in the USA. For institutional and government buyers working under domestic sourcing requirements, that is stated by the manufacturer on the product itself.
