What Customers Are Saying
The product is a mixed bag, with some users finding it useful and affordable for fishing wires through walls and conduits, while others experienced issues with durability and ease of use. The main positives are that the tape is strong, flexible, and compact, making it well-suited for smaller jobs. However, a significant number of customers reported problems with rewinding and coiling the tape, as well as concerns about overall quality and construction. The product may work well for basic, occasional DIY tasks, but may not hold up to more frequent or demanding applications.

I have used different Fish tapes in past and had another Ideal fish tape for years and no issues but was too big and bulky so i bought a 50ft. But it will not wind back just after 2 uses and past my return date. Had better expectations than this from Ideal.

I came into Lowes looking for fish tape and lo and behold this was sitting on the clearance rack for $5 and some change. For something this small and barely used great find.

Did the job, wish it coiled back in all the way
Good snake for running wire. Gets a little hard to put back, tightens up, but good for the money.
Verified Purchaser
Handy!
This is a great fish tape for small pulls and is perfectly sized to pack inside a backpack or medium sized tool bag. It is tough and definitely performs well.

Will use for running cable wires

You get what you pay for.
