I recently loaned out my fish tape I have had for years. Since it is 200 miles away, I order this one for some wire pulling next week. Most of these units are very similar in terms of construction and use. This one has the clam shell bolted together and it has an ineffective trigger brake on the handle. I suppose the later was added to help you pull by putting the brake on and then holding the case rather than the cable. Personally, I want my hands on the cable so I have the best feel for resistance. So, the brake and the included wire tires are non-factors in the decision to order this tape.The loop on the end is small enough to pass through a ½” hole if you attach your wire properly. Yes, this type or wire puller does bend and can flop around so they are best for EMT or when you have a good open access you can get your hand it. If you have a small target and need a stiff, straighter device, then you will probably be using fiberglass rods.

For the price of this fishing tape, it will pay for itself in one use. It isn't the smoothest or flattest of tapes but it will run through smooth stud bays and conduit fine. It got hung up on my older path and plaster walls, but that's not unexpected. Perfect for light duty use though.

This fish tape has come in handy while helping my son-in-law rewire his house. The length is good and sufficient for most jobs. There are zip ties included which allows you to fasten wires to the fish tape.The fish tape unwinds and rewinds well. It is easy to use and is a must have when running cables for security cameras and more.This would make a great gift for a new homeowner that has a lot of diy projects planned that include rewiring, new lighting, security cameras, and more. This is a tool that comes in really handy and is often overlooked or not included in a tool box, but should be.

Handy wire puller for running cables through walls or ceilings. Works well.

I already own a fish tape absolutely identical to this one by YIYITOOLS from 40 years ago - down to the color. When I saw it on Amazon, I thought, why not? I can keep one at my office and one in the truck. What I was really surprised to learn is that the quality is also identical to my 40 year old version. I really expected an inferrior tool to arrive. I was plesantly surprised.
