The Klein Tools 56312 Lo-Flex Fish Rod Set assembles three 4-foot fiberglass sections to a full 12-foot rod, providing maximum rigidity for straight wire runs through wall cavities, suspended ceilings, and conduit. The Splinter Guard protective coating keeps hands free of fiberglass splinters. Durable stainless steel bullet connectors join sections without tools. Includes a bullet nose tip for attaching wire and a hook attachment for grabbing and retrieving cables. Made in the USA. This set is discontinued and superseded by current glow rod versions.
The 56312 is discontinued — what is the current equivalent?
Two 50053 (5 ft. Lo-Flex Glow Rod) sections plus one 50051 (5 ft. Hi-Flex, for a flexible leading tip) give 15 feet of reach. For exactly 12 feet of lo-flex, combine the 50103 (10 ft. Lo-Flex) and 50053 (5 ft. Lo-Flex) and only extend as far as needed. The SRS56980 (33 ft.) is the full-kit replacement.
Did the 56312 include glow rods?
No — the 56312 was a non-glow lo-flex set. All current Klein individual glow rod sections (50xxx series) include photoluminescent coating, which is an improvement over the older set.
Are the 56312 connectors compatible with current Klein hardware?
Yes. Klein's threaded connector design is consistent across generations, so 56312 sections can connect to current sections and tips.
