Fish Tape with Steel (Catalogue Item 1 Of 2)
A steel fish tape used by electricians to route new wiring through walls, conduit, and floor ducts. The steel rod is designed for pulling phone, network, and speaker cables through tight or long runs. It is supplied with a flexible steel leader and interchangeable terminals and eyelet. The tool is suitable for general electrical installation and maintenance work where high tensile strength is needed. Colour and brand can be customised for own-label and private-label programmes.
- Steel construction provides high tensile strength for pulling through long or obstructed runs
- Flexible steel leader starts the run and helps guide the tape through bends
- Interchangeable terminals and eyelet allow the head to be adapted to different cable types
- Suitable for use in walls, conduit, and floor ducts where a rigid puller is needed
- Custom colour and brand printing available for importers and distributors
Key Benefits
- Steel construction provides high tensile strength for pulling through long or obstructed runs
- Flexible steel leader starts the run and helps guide the tape through bends
- Interchangeable terminals and eyelet allow the head to be adapted to different cable types
- Suitable for use in walls, conduit, and floor ducts where a rigid puller is needed
- Custom colour and brand printing available for importers and distributors
- Can be mixed with other products in one container for efficient shipping
Where It Is Used
- Pulling network and speaker cables through walls during residential and commercial fit-out
- Routing new wiring through metal or PVC conduit in industrial and light commercial buildings
- Working in tight or obstructed ducts where a stiff, strong puller is required
- Maintenance tasks where existing cables are in place and a rigid rod is needed to push through
- Field use by contractors who need a durable, reusable tool for multiple jobs
Who It Is For
- Electrical wholesalers and importers stocking electrician hand tools
- Hardware and electrical retail chains requiring a standard tool with own-brand options
- Electrical contractors doing telecom, data, and power cabling installations
- Maintenance teams in buildings with complex conduit systems
- OEM and private-label buyers who want their own brand printed on the tool
Problems It Solves
- A flexible rod cannot handle high tension; steel provides the strength needed for long or tight runs
- A fixed head limits the type of cable that can be pulled; interchangeable terminals allow adaptation
- Steel tapes are more durable than nylon or fiberglass in repeated use and harsh environments
- Buyers who need one tool for multiple jobs avoid carrying multiple types; this one handles both short and long runs
- Wholesalers can mix this item with enclosures, switches, and solar lights in one container for cost-effective shipping
Technical Features
- Steel rod construction for high tensile strength
- Flexible steel leader at the head for starting the run
- Interchangeable terminals and eyelet for different cable types
- Suitable for pulling phone, network, and speaker cables through walls and conduit
Specifications
Full dimensional and rating data for this item is confirmed on enquiry rather than published here, so that every figure on this site is one we can stand behind. Ask us for the specification.
Materials
- Steel rod body, chosen for high tensile strength and durability
- Steel leader at the head, where stiffness and strength are needed
- High-density polyethylene engineering plastic coating on the rod surface for wear and corrosion resistance
Customisation Options
- Colour can be changed from the standard
- Brand name and logo can be printed to order
- Length and diameter combinations can be mixed across orders for container loading
Compared With The Alternatives
| Compared With | How This Product Differs |
|---|---|
| Nylon fish tape | Nylon is non-conductive and safe in occupied ducts, but steel has higher tensile strength for long or obstructed runs. |
| Fiberglass rod | Fiberglass is lighter and more flexible for pushing through straight pipe, but steel is stronger for pulling through tight or long runs. |
| Spiral spring cable puller | A spring head is designed to retrieve dropped cables; this steel tape is built for pulling new cables through ducts. |
Use Guide
- Feed the flexible steel leader into the conduit first, then pull the steel rod behind it
- Attach the terminal or eyelet that matches the cable being pulled before starting the run
- Do not exceed the tensile strength of the rod; clear obstructions before increasing force
- Keep the bend radius of the rod within safe limits to avoid deformation
- Wipe and re-coil the tape after each use to prevent grit from damaging the surface

Fish Tape with Steel FAQ
Can this fish tape be used in occupied conduit?
Yes, the steel rod is strong enough for pulling through tight or obstructed runs. However, electrical safety practices must be followed when working near live conductors.
What is the tensile strength of the steel rod?
The tensile strength is not specified in the facts. Dimensions and strength are confirmed on enquiry.
Can we have our own brand printed on the fish tape?
Yes. The brand name and logo can be printed to order. Send us the artwork and we will confirm feasibility.
Can we mix this item with other products in one container?
Yes. This fish tape can be mixed with electrician tools, enclosures, protection devices, and solar lights in a single container.
How do we get exact dimensions and a datasheet before ordering?
Dimensions and technical details are confirmed on enquiry. We can provide a datasheet upon request.
What should we do if we need a different length or diameter?
Length and diameter are confirmed on enquiry. We can discuss options based on your needs.
