The Klein Tools 56057 is a 50-foot non-conductive grooved fiberglass fish tape measuring 3/16 inch wide. Multiple grooves molded into the fiberglass tape reduce friction in conduit whether occupied with existing wires or empty, enabling smoother tape feeding. The non-conductive fiberglass body and non-conductive eyelet tip offer added shock protection near energized sources. The polypropylene case features a 13-inch diameter reel, raised finger grips, and a sloped handle. Weighs 2.3 lb. Made in the USA. Replaced by model 56382. This product is no longer in production.
Is the 56057 still available?
The 56057 has been discontinued. The 56382 (multi-groove fiberglass, nylon tip, 50 ft) is the current equivalent at 50 feet with an updated multi-groove profile and nylon leader.
What replaced the 56057?
The 56382 — multi-groove fiberglass with nylon tip at 50 feet. The updated multi-groove design provides more grooves than the single-groove 56057, further reducing friction in occupied conduit.
Was there a meaningful difference between grooved and multi-groove profiles?
The 56057 used a single-groove or simple-groove profile; the current 56382 uses multiple longitudinal grooves, increasing the tape's ability to glide past existing conductors. For most users, the 56382 is a straightforward improvement over the 56057.
