Milwaukee 48-22-4165 100-Ft. Polyester Fish Tape, Non-Conductive Tip, Red/Black

The Milwaukee 48-22-4165 is a 100 Ft. Polyester Fish Tape engineered for pulling wire and cable through conduit runs, wall cavities, and other tight spaces on electrical jobsites. The fish tape features a non-conductive tip that adds a layer of protection when fishing near energized circuits, and the durable polyester tape line resists kinking better than traditional steel fish tapes while remaining lightweight and easy to maneuver. The tape is wound into a compact red and black case measuring 13.19-inch in diameter, keeping the full 100 Ft. length organized and ready to deploy. Built for daily use by electricians and maintenance professionals, this fish tape is a practical solution for rough-in wiring, remodel work, and cable installation in hard-to-reach areas.

Key Features

  • Length: 100 Ft. of polyester fish tape for reaching long conduit runs, risers, and wall cavities without needing to splice sections together.
  • Durable Construction: Polyester tape construction resists kinking and coiling issues common with metal fish tapes, extending usable service life on the jobsite.
  • Non-Conductive Tip: The tip design adds protection against contact with energized circuits during fishing operations, an important consideration for electrical work.
  • Compact Case: Housed in a 13.19-inch diameter case that keeps the tape contained and easy to carry between jobs.
  • Color-Coded Housing: Red and black case design improves jobsite visibility and helps the tool stand out in a crowded tool bag.
  • Lightweight Handling: Polyester construction keeps the tool lighter than comparable steel fish tapes, reducing user fatigue during extended pulls.

Milwaukee 48-22-4165 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Milwaukee 48-22-4165 fish tape safe to use near energized circuits?
The 48-22-4165 uses a polyester tape line with a non-conductive tip, so it gives you a layer of protection if the tip contacts an energized circuit while fishing. That is the main reason electricians choose a polyester or fiberglass line over steel. It is still a tool, not a substitute for de-energizing and testing the circuit before you pull.
2) Polyester fish tape or steel fish tape, which should I use for conduit pulls?
Polyester, like the Milwaukee 48-22-4165, resists kinking and permanent coiling that plague steel tapes, weighs less over long pulls, and the non-conductive tip keeps you safer around live gear. Steel is the choice when you need to push hard through long, tightly packed runs or force past bends, since a stiffer line pushes further without buckling. If that is your work, the Ideal Industries 31-048 E-Class steel fish tape comes in a 200 foot length.
3) I need more than 100 feet of fish tape for a long conduit run - what should I use instead of the Milwaukee 48-22-4165?
The Milwaukee 48-22-4165 tops out at 100 ft of polyester tape. For a longer single pull, the Ideal Industries 31-048 E-Class is a 200 ft steel fish tape, which doubles the reach so you do not have to splice sections. Note that it is steel rather than non-conductive, so it is not a substitute where you are fishing near energized circuits.
4) What is the closest non-conductive equivalent to the Milwaukee 48-22-4165 fish tape?
The Milwaukee 48-22-4165 is a 100 ft polyester fish tape with a non-conductive tip. The closest non-conductive match at the same length is the Greenlee FTXF-100 REEL-X, a 100 ft non-conductive fiberglass fish tape. Both give you a 100 ft pull with non-conductive protection; the difference is the tape line material, polyester on the Milwaukee versus fiberglass on the REEL-X.
5) Can I use this Milwaukee fish tape for fishing wire through finished walls and ceilings, not just conduit?
Yes. The 48-22-4165 is meant for conduit runs, wall cavities, and ceiling spaces alike, which is why it gets used on remodel and service work as much as new rough-in. The polyester line is flexible enough to work around obstructions in a cavity and light enough to handle overhead without wearing you out.
6) Is a steel fish tape a direct substitute for the Milwaukee 48-22-4165?
Not for the same work. The 48-22-4165 uses a polyester tape line with a non-conductive tip, which is what lets it be used with added protection when fishing near energized circuits, and the polyester line resists kinking. A steel tape such as the Ideal Industries 31-048 E-Class is a conductive line, so it serves a different set of pulls even though it performs the same basic job of drawing wire through conduit.
7) What is the difference between the Milwaukee 48-22-4165 and the Greenlee MagnumPRO FTN536?
Both are non-conductive fish tapes. The Milwaukee 48-22-4165 is a 100 ft polyester tape housed in a 13.19 inch diameter red and black case. The Greenlee FTN536 is a MagnumPRO series nylon fish tape with a non-conductive, curl-resistant design. The practical difference is the line material - polyester versus nylon - and the case design.
8) For fishing walls near live circuits, which fish tapes besides the Milwaukee 48-22-4165 are appropriate?
The 48-22-4165 has a non-conductive tip on a polyester line for added protection during fishing near energized circuits. Two other non-conductive options are the Greenlee FTXF-100 REEL-X, a 100 ft non-conductive fiberglass tape, and the Greenlee FTN536 MagnumPRO nylon tape with a non-conductive curl-resistant design. A steel tape like the Ideal 31-048 would not belong in that group.
9) How big is the case on the Milwaukee 48-22-4165 fish tape reel?
The red and black case measures 13.19 inches in diameter, which is the number that matters if you are deciding whether it rides in a tool bag or lives on the van. The color coding makes it easy to spot in a crowded bag.
