The Klein Tools 56012 is a 100-foot nylon composite fish tape designed for flexibility and easy navigation through conduit runs. The non-conductive nylon tape slides easily over existing wires and through multiple bends without conducting electricity. Lightweight and strong, the nylon composite tape resists harsh elements and is strength-rated up to 200 pulling pounds. The 13-inch case diameter allows 15 percent more tape to be reeled in per revolution compared to a standard 12-inch case. Made in the USA. This product is no longer in production.
Is the 56012 nylon fish tape still available?
The 56012 (100 ft nylon) has been discontinued. The current equivalent is the 50376 (high-flex polyester, 150 ft), which provides 50% more reach with similar lightweight, flexible, non-conductive construction.
What replaced the 56012?
The 50376 (high-flex polyester, 150 ft). For users who needed 100 feet of lightweight flexible non-conductive tape, the 50376 covers that range and extends to 150 feet.
What is the key difference between nylon and the current polyester tape?
Klein's 3-strand braided polyester (50376) feeds more smoothly than the extruded nylon on the 56012 — electrician reviewers describe it as 'like butter' in conduit. Braided construction also distributes wear across multiple strands, improving durability.
