The Klein Tools 56380 is a 100-foot multi-groove fiberglass fish tape measuring 3/16 inch wide with a 7-inch spiral steel leader, suited for commercial, residential, and voice-data-video wire pulls. The multi-groove profile reduces surface contact with conduit walls and existing wires for lower friction and smoother feeding across the full 100-foot run. The fiberglass core maintains strong pushing stiffness and durability in crowded conduit. The optimized case design and slip-resistant housing geometry reduce payout effort and improve winding power. A multi-position polypropylene handle provides a firm grip. Weighs 3.4 lb.
What does the multi-groove profile add over a flat fiberglass tape?
Multiple longitudinal grooves along the tape body reduce the surface contact area against conduit walls and existing cables, lowering friction during insertion. This is particularly valuable in conduit with multiple conductors already installed — the tape can advance past them without getting trapped or tangling.
How does the spiral steel leader interact with the multi-groove body?
The spiral steel leader rotates at the tip to navigate bends while the multi-groove body glides past existing cable more smoothly than a flat tape. This combination makes the 56380 well-suited for pulling additional cable into already-occupied conduit runs.
Is the 56380 safe around energized conductors?
The fiberglass body is non-conductive, but the spiral steel leader tip is conductive. In conduit with energized circuits, verify de-energization or choose the 56059 (non-conductive leader variant) for complete non-conductive construction.
How does the 56380 (100 ft) compare to the 56056 (200 ft spiral steel leader)?
The 56380 handles single-story commercial runs up to 100 feet. The 56056 extends to 200 feet for longer commercial conduit pulls. Both share the multi-groove body and spiral steel leader — choose length based on your longest job requirement.
