What Customers Are Saying
The fish tape has a mixed reception. Some find it a useful and effective tool for home wiring projects, with its compact size, sturdy construction, and ability to easily feed through walls and conduits. The one-foot measurement markings on the tape are appreciated for precision work. However, many customers report issues with quality and performance, such as the tape arriving defective or jammed, difficulty unwinding and rewinding, and the steel tip getting bent. Overall, the fish tape may be suitable for basic, one-time home projects, but those requiring more heavy-duty or frequent use may want to consider a higher-quality alternative.

Good product but the pic shown has no rubber tip..
Would RecommendNever had one issue with this until it got stuck on something halfway in between the path I was fishing and had to cut the tape and buy another one. IF I had the one as pictured here with the rubber tip then this would not have happened. The 25 ft fish tape that I bought that Lowe’s has asked me to review here does not have the rubber tip but has the steel tip and after many uses, the tip gets bent and the chances of getting stuck are significantly increased as what happened to me. Sorry Lowe’s ...

Meh
Would Not RecommendDidn’t get the job done. Wire was not as flexible as we needed it to be.

Nice and still
Would RecommendEasy to unspool and rewind. Used it to fish electrical wire down the wall. Plan on using it for the cable too.

Don't buy this spend little extra
Would Not RecommendThis fish tape jammed up and was difficult to use. Spend the extra couple bucks and make it easier on yourself.

It does what I need it to
Would Not Recommendit does bind up a bit when trying to reel it out and back in. It still works and does the job for simple wiring projects. I wouldn't recommend it for any big projects.

First one was defective...this one is OK
Would RecommendBeen using it a few days now. Nice when you just have short runs.

Works well
Would RecommendReels in and out adequately and wire was stiff enough to fish through the walls easily.

Got the job done
Would RecommendI’m not convinced the hook end is the best design but it worked this time.
