The Klein Tools 56304 is a single 4-foot lo-flex fiberglass fish rod with a protective coating that guards hands against fiberglass splinters. The 1/4-inch diameter and lo-flex rating provide sufficient rigidity for pushing wire over long distances in open cavities. Compatible and connectable with all Klein Tools fish and glow rod sections for extended-reach builds. Fits easily into a standard tool bag. Intended for general-purpose wire installation above ceilings, through walls, and under floors. Made in the USA. Product has been discontinued by the manufacturer.
The 56304 is discontinued — what is the current equivalent?
The 50053 (5 ft. Lo-Flex Glow Rod) is the closest current replacement. It adds glow-in-dark capability and is one foot longer. If you need the exact 4-foot length in a single section, check the current Klein catalog for any 4-foot individual sections, or use the 50053 as the practical substitute.
Does the current replacement have Splinter Guard coating?
The 56304 had Splinter Guard protection on its fiberglass body. The 50053 is a fiberglass glow rod — check the current product page to confirm Splinter Guard status on the replacement. Individual sections like the 56406 (6 ft.) explicitly carry Splinter Guard.
Can 56304 sections still connect to current Klein rods and tips?
Yes — the 56304 uses Klein's standard threaded connector. Current tips and sections will thread on in most cases, allowing continued use of 56304 sections in a modern Klein rod build.
