The Klein Tools 56055 is a 100-foot non-conductive multi-groove fiberglass fish tape measuring 3/16 inch wide with a 7-inch spiral steel leader. Multiple grooves molded into the fiberglass tape reduce surface contact with conduit walls and existing wires, lowering friction for smoother feeding over long runs. The fiberglass core provides rigidity and maneuverability in crowded conduit. The polypropylene case features a 13-inch diameter reel, raised finger grips, and a sloped handle. Weighs 3.0 lb. Made in the USA. Replaced by model 56380. This product is no longer in production.
Is the 56055 still available?
The 56055 has been discontinued. The current multi-groove fiberglass 100-foot tape is the 56383 (nylon tip) or 56380 (spiral steel leader), both in Klein's updated multi-groove line.
What replaced the 56055?
The 56383 (multi-groove, nylon tip, 100 ft) is the best current equivalent if cable protection is the priority. The 56380 (multi-groove, spiral steel leader, 100 ft) is the current option when corner navigation is more important.
What improvements do the 56383 and 56380 offer?
Both offer the same multi-groove profile as the 56055 with updated leader materials — the 56383 adds a fully non-conductive nylon tip, and the 56380 uses a spiral steel leader optimized for corner navigation. Both represent Klein's current multi-groove standard.
