MAXKOSKO 1/8" Carbon Steel Electrical Fish Tape - High-Strength Wire Puller with Gloves, Ergonomic Handle & Reinforced Loop
Carbon Steel Fish Tape for Electrical Wire Pulling MAXKOSKO Carbon Steel Fish Tape is designed for electricians, contractors, and DIY users who need strong pushability when routing wire through conduit, walls, floors, ceilings, and other construction spaces. The 1/8-inch carbon steel tape provides greater stiffness and directional control than softer pulling rods, making it suitable for long, relatively direct conduit runs and demanding wire installation projects. High-Strength Carbon Steel Rigid steel construction provides strong pushing power and dependable control through longer conduit runs. 1/8-Inch Wide Tape Balances stiffness and flexibility for residential, commercial, and general jobsite wire pulling. Reinforced Looped Tip Provides a secure attachment point for pulling electrical wire and communication cable. Smooth Payout and Rewind The ergonomic case and angled rewind handle help deploy and retrieve the tape efficiently. Length Markings Laser-etched markings at 6 ft intervals help estimate conduit length and track tape usage. Gloves Included A pair of work gloves is included for more comfortable handling during wire pulling tasks. Important Before Ordering Choose the Right Fish Tape for Your Project Conductive Steel Material: Carbon steel conducts electricity. Disconnect, lock out, and verify power is off before inserting the fish tape into conduit or electrical spaces. Best for Strong Pushability: This model is recommended for longer or more direct conduit runs where stiffness and pushing force are the main priorities. Tight Bend Considerations: Steel tape may be more difficult to guide through multiple sharp bends or crowded conduit than a fiberglass fish tape with a rotating leader. Control During Rewind: Keep a firm grip while extending or retracting the tape. Do not allow the steel tape to release or rewind uncontrollably. Select the Correct Length: Choose a tape longer than the complete conduit or cable route, including vertical runs, bends, and access points. Available Lengths 25 ft Short residential runs, outlets, small conduit sections, and quick repair projects 50 ft General home wiring, garages, basements, and medium conduit runs 120 ft Long residential runs, contractor work, and larger wiring projects 240 ft Extended conduit routes, commercial spaces, construction sites, and long-distance pulls Carbon Steel or Fiberglass Fish Tape? Choose Carbon Steel Recommended when stronger pushability, higher rigidity, and better control through long or relatively direct conduit runs are required. Choose Fiberglass Recommended when a non-conductive material, improved bend navigation, and a rotating leader are more important. Need a non-conductive option for more complex conduit routes?

Recommended Applications View Applications Hide Applications Electrical wire pulling through conduit Wall, floor, ceiling, and attic cable routing Residential and commercial wiring projects Construction and renovation work Communication and low-voltage cable installation Long or relatively direct conduit runs Frequently Asked Questions When should I choose carbon steel fish tape? Choose carbon steel when your project requires strong pushing force and directional control through long or relatively direct conduit runs. Can this fish tape be used in energized conduit? No. Carbon steel is electrically conductive. Always disconnect and verify power is off before inserting or removing the fish tape. Is carbon steel suitable for multiple tight bends? It can pass through many standard conduit routes, but multiple sharp bends or crowded conduit may be easier to navigate with a fiberglass fish tape featuring a rotating leader. How should I choose the tape length? Select a fish tape longer than the entire planned route. Include extra length for vertical sections, bends, access points, and cable attachment. Are gloves included? Yes. One pair of work gloves is included for more comfortable handling.
