Fish Tape · 50 ft blued steel · 1/8 in x 0.045 in thumb-winder case · IDEAL Industries 31-010
What this product is for
This 50 ft (15.2 m) blued-steel fish tape is used to pull conductors through conduit, wall cavities, and similar enclosed pathways during electrical rough-in, retrofit, and service work. It combines a formed hook end with a thumb-winder case for controlled feeding and rewind.
Use for
- Pulling wire through short to medium conduit runs up to 50 ft (15.2 m)
- Residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work
- Jobs where a stiffer steel tape helps push through longer or less direct runs
- Estimating run length using 12 in (305 mm) laser-etched markings
Avoid for
- Energized circuits or locations where a non-conductive fish tape is required
- Applications where fiberglass or another non-metallic tape is better suited
- Runs longer than the tape length or layouts with conditions that call for a different tape profile
Best for
Electricians and contractors who want a compact steel fish tape for everyday pulling work, especially where a 50 ft (15.2 m) length and stiffer tape body help with longer branch runs and general conduit fishing.
Installed in
Used on job sites rather than installed as a permanent product. Commonly carried in service vans, tool bags, and rough-in kits for conduit, wall, and panel wire-pulling tasks.
Why this product exists
This fish tape gives electricians a steel option that is non-oily, rust-resistant, and easier to control in a compact thumb-winder format. The blued-steel construction is intended for straightness, pushability, and pulling strength on routine electrical installations.
Compared with similar products
Compared with non-metallic fish tapes, this steel model is typically chosen when more stiffness is needed for longer runs. Compared with longer steel tapes, the 50 ft (15.2 m) length is easier to carry and quicker to rewind for everyday service and branch-circuit work. Typical guidance only: actual performance depends on conduit fill, bends, lubrication, layout, and site conditions.
