Milwaukee 48-44-5178 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Milwaukee 48-44-5178 fish tape cartridge work with the M18 FUEL ANGLER tool, or is it a standalone fish tape?
It's a replacement cartridge, not a complete tool. The 48-44-5178 is part of the ANGLER interchangeable pulling fish tape system and snaps into the M18 FUEL ANGLER powered fish tape using the quick-change latches. You need the ANGLER drive unit to run it; the cartridge alone has no feed or retract power.
2) How long and how thick is the tape in the Milwaukee ANGLER 48-44-5178 cartridge?
240 feet of 1/8 inch blue tempered steel tape. That length covers long commercial runs, and the steel tape is rated to pull 200 feet through 360 degrees of bends.
3) Steel or fiberglass fish tape for conduit with multiple bends?
Steel is the right call for long runs with heavy bends, and that's what the 48-44-5178 carries: blue tempered steel chosen for flexibility plus durability, with enough column strength to push 200 feet through 360 degrees of bends. Fiberglass or nylon tapes are what you reach for when you need a non-conductive tape near live gear; steel is conductive and should stay out of energized panels.
4) Do I have to hand-wind the tape back into the Milwaukee ANGLER cartridge?
No. In the ANGLER system the tape feeds and retracts under power (AUTO-RUN), and it winds itself back into the cartridge rather than being left on the floor. The cartridge is built low friction with a less-binding internal design so payout and wind-up stay smooth over the full 240 feet.
5) If I already run a shorter ANGLER cartridge, can I swap to the 240 ft one on the same tool?
That's the point of the system. Cartridges in the ANGLER interchangeable pulling fish tape line come off and on with quick-change latches, so one M18 FUEL ANGLER drive can run a short cartridge for device boxes and the 240 foot 1/8 inch steel cartridge for long conduit runs. Order by Milwaukee part number 48-44-5178 for the 240 foot steel version.
6) What keeps the fish tape from hanging up inside conduit couplings?
The tape on the 48-44-5178 has an anti-catch tip, which is the feature that keeps it moving past coupling shoulders and bushings instead of snagging mid-pull. Reinforced anchor points at the tape ends address the other common failure, the tape tearing loose where it attaches.
7) Can I tell how far I've fed the tape without pulling it back out?
Yes, the steel tape carries high-visibility laser etched markings along its length, so you can read footage at the cartridge as you feed. Useful for estimating pull rope and wire lengths before you commit to the run.
