The Klein Tools SRS56980 Deluxe Fish Rod Set provides 33 feet of cable-routing reach across 10 rods and 8 attachments for renovation and new-construction wiring. Rods are made from Adoxim 5, a material engineered to reduce splintering and improve flexibility. Durable brass fittings on each rod are mechanically crimped for a 550-pound load rating. Four flexibility options across two 1/4-inch black rods, six 3/16-inch red rods, and two 1/64-inch yellow rods allow tailored routing through varied wall and ceiling conditions. Eight innovative attachments included. Comes with a durable carrying tube.
What is included in the SRS56980 19-piece deluxe set?
The SRS56980 includes 10 fiberglass Splinter Guard-coated rod sections (each 3.33 feet, totaling 33 feet) and 8 tip accessories: domed bullet, flat bullet, gender change adapter, strong magnet, lighted tip, tough hook, mini eye and ring, and flex lead. The set does not include glow-in-dark sections — fiberglass sections are natural color. A bag or case is typically included for organization.
Does the SRS56980 have glow-in-dark rods?
No. The SRS56980 uses natural fiberglass sections with Splinter Guard coating but without a photoluminescent coating. It is designed for daylight or flashlight-assisted pulls. If you need glow capability in dark spaces, consider the SRS56981 which includes glow-in-dark multi-flex sections.
What does the strong magnet tip allow me to do?
The strong magnet tip mounts to the leading end of the rod and allows you to navigate around metal obstructions using an external magnet held against the wall. It also lets you attract wire clips or fish a dropped bolt or bit in metal enclosures. This is one of the most frequently used tips in retrofit wiring scenarios.
Is the Splinter Guard coating on the SRS56980 the same as on the 56406 rod?
Yes — Splinter Guard is Klein's protective resin coating applied over fiberglass to prevent micro-fiber shedding. All SRS56980 sections are Splinter Guard-coated, so you can handle them without gloves in most conditions.
How does the SRS56980 compare to the SRS56981 for professional use?
The SRS56980 is a 33-foot fiberglass set with 8 tips, ideal for electricians who want a compact, professional-grade set for most daily commercial and residential jobs. The SRS56981 is a 52.5-foot polymer multi-flex set with 18 tips, glow-in-dark sections, and glow accessories — better for complex retrofit work, longer runs, or teams that want the largest possible toolkit in one kit.
