What Customers Are Saying
The product is a compact and affordable steel fish tape that can navigate tight spaces, but some customers experienced issues with durability and ease of use, such as difficulty rewinding the tape and it becoming stuck or tangled after repeated use. While suitable for basic, occasional wire-fishing tasks, it may not be suitable for more frequent or demanding applications.

Would RecommendOne nice thing about this one is that there's no crank to break. As mentioned in another review, the thumb lever could stand to be a bit bigger, but it still works fine. I've used this one about a dozen times for around the house stuff without breaking it, and a couple of the pulls were pretty stout. If you're new to fish tape land, and you're going to Lowe's to get this for a first time use, if you're pulling your cable through conduit, do yourself a favor and get a bottle of fish tape lubrica...
Great product!
Would RecommendWorks very well especially when capturing a nylon fish tape.
Good enough
Would RecommendWhile there are others that are easier to roll back up (becareful not to pinch your finger), this one does as good of a job as any other. The little black handle on the side could be a little bigger and they could put something on it to get better leverage to roll it back up, but then it would cost as much as the other ones. If you don't plan on doing a lot of wiring this one works good.
Simple
Would RecommendThis fish tape is just fine to use, you just cant yank it out of the holder or your going to have it bind up on you. Simple tool for a simple task.
