Retractable Spiral 15 m Polyester Retractable Wire with Guide Spring Retractable Tape φ4.5 mm Cable Retraction Aid in Ideal Retractable Tape for Cable Laying Empty Pipes, Green

Fair price, useful, easy to use

I purchased this to pull electrical wire through 1/2 inch electrical PVC pipe. The pipe was 45 ft long with 5 large radius 90 degree bends of seal tight.I purchased the 4.5mm green twisted fish tape. This tape almost looks like a large weed wacker trim line. I had no problem fishing this line through and pulling 6 -12 gauge stranded wires through the 1/2 inch PVC pipe. I also have a metal fish tape for metal pipes, but I like the nylon tapes for PVC pipe. For the price it is a good investment.I also purchased a blue 4 mm fish tape, it was is way too thin and too flexible, could not push more than 20 ft of tape into the pipe. I returned it as I could not use it.

I used it to pull wire through a 12' conduit with three gentle 90 degree turns. The tool wouldn't go through the first elbow connection (about 3' in) because it hit the pipe end in the coupling and wouldn't go past. I was able to get it through by starting at the other end with a little work. I would buy again.

Makes life easier. Works great.

Cheap well made good price whats not to like i got it to run wiring in my suv works great for what it is medium stiff and flexible not as stiff as my metal fish tape

Guía duradera y de buena perfonmancia

The rigidity of this tool is adequate, but could be better.However, due to the thickness, for non metallic, this is the best you can get with a three strand unit at this diameter.You can go thicker and get more rigidity, but it may be too thick to feed through conduit with multiple wires already present. You need to match the diameter to your needs, and that will determine the rigidity.I also have a metal version, but it cannot be used with conduit that has wires for fear of stripping the insulation from the wires - should never happen - but it has.So for non metallic for use in tight spaces, this is what you need - the only upgrade I would like would be a reel to wrap and store.

Don’t forget quality tools don’t come with a warranty minus the quality issues when purchasing be sure to check the warranty before you buy some junk stuff and the top quality stuff is maybe a bit more expensive but it’s also worth resale value than be throw away the old buy all new
