The Klein Tools 56000 is a 25-foot, 1/8-inch wide high-strength spring steel fish tape for short wire runs under carpets, through insulated walls, and over suspended ceilings. The tape features permanent laser-etched 1-foot increment markings for conduit depth measurement and tape payout tracking. The polypropylene case and handle provide maximum shock and impact resistance, with raised finger grips that transfer full winding power. A full-grip style handle and sloped design optimize hand position for quick hand-over-hand rewinds. No longer in production.
Is the 56000 still available?
The 56000 has been discontinued. The current active 1/8-inch steel fish tape line is the 56331 (50 ft) and 56333 (120 ft). For a 25-foot steel tape, there is no direct current replacement in 1/8-inch width; the 56331 at 50 feet is the closest available model.
What was the 56000?
A 1/8-inch wide x 25-foot steel fish tape on an enclosed reel. Klein discontinued the 25-foot steel tape; the current 56331 (50 ft) with the same 1/8-inch profile is the practical replacement for most short-run applications.
What non-conductive alternatives exist for short runs?
The 50550 (20 ft, glow fiberglass, non-conductive) covers very short runs. For 25–50 foot runs requiring non-conductive construction, the 56382 (multi-groove fiberglass, nylon tip, 50 ft) is the current option.
