lewweingarthlewweingarth: It's a great product, you can't beat Klein. However, it also arrived broken. A small piece of the handle/winder was broken off. I looked at the Amazon bag and the Klein bag and neither were damaged. I won't return it because it has no effect on operation, just hope the seller reads this review and looks at other shipments to decide if any action is needed. I used it right away, typical Klein, nothing better.

Tayshun Ally: Klein tools make great products. My first one came stuck and I had it replaced (couldnt pull after 6 ft) but the replacement is better. We use a lot of other klein tools because they have the best wararnty!

Mad-Mio: Brilliant quality item. Looked at many, many others before choosing this one. Really pleased with the quality and the thickness of the metal tape. The reel itself is not the usual cheap plastic either. I would definitely buy another one if I had to, but this will probably last many years. (If you look after it and don't store it in damp places).

Kyle John Thorson: I have been doing a project in my house running wires for some speakers through existing walls. I'm running four overhead speakers and 6 speakers for the surround sound. The walls have insulation, so it has been especially challenging. This fish tape has been fantastic! It has enough rigidity to push it through difficult areas while staying straight, but also enough flexibility to get around corners or other obstacles. I also bought a fish rod to run wires, but I have found that the tape is way better for what I'm using it for. I tried using the rod but eventually just switched to the tape. I have ran many cables with this thing so far with little problem.

Some people are complaining about it getting jammed up when retracting/releasing. There have been times where it feels a little tight, but I just followed the directions and I haven't had a problem. I've had it fully unwound and rewound multiple times without an issue.

A Hardy Boy: This is a standard fish tape that I bought to replace the one that I cannot locate at the moment. Does the job it is intended to do. Reasonable price.

chris: Exactly as described.
Wish the circumference of the reel was a little bigger as feeding all the line back in, the last 10 feet are tough. But maybe it will loosen up a little with more use.

Iceman: I should have bought one of these a long time ago. This was relatively cheap compared to the grief I have been through trying to use tie wire to cheat my way around one. I used this to fish speaker wires through my ceiling. Nothing is perfect but this certainly beats the bailing wire. Also, I bound this thing up a couple of times before I finally read the instructions. I suggest reading before you use it so you don't bind up the spring. It is easy enough to fix but you have to feed the whole thing out and then reel it back in the right way.

Honest ReviewerHonest Reviewer: I just ordered this fish tape and was surprised at how compact it was. I was thinking it was going to come out in those 1foot+ diameter spools but was surprised to see this little guy coming in with a 7 inch diameter. The tape spools in and out easy. The case is built out of some pretty neat plastic that can take some abuse. I am partial to steel fish tapes because of their strength especially for long runs. The laser etched markings are a nice touch but they do fade out with repeated use. Although not the cheapest I am happy with my purchase as I know klein builds great products. Would definetley recommend.

Steve Linin: I found this product to work well and did not give it 5 stars because of the stiffness others mentioned. I believe the stiffness comes from how it is wound up. When you get past the tough points and rewind it it seems much better. In my case I did not find this to be a major problem. I had one last run to make with Cat6 in my house to finish my wiring the whole house. It is hard to explain why it was a difficult run but I will say that I had to run a string from the outside through a soffit vent that happened to be accessible to a hole that was run for my cable down a wall into my kitchen. Once this run was complete it was an easy run across the attic and down a much simpler path to my living room.

The length markings were very nice and allowed me to tell when I was in the neighborhood of when I should go inside and look for the tape. The tape did bend a few times but was easily bent back into shape. Attaching the string to the end was straight forward though I did find that the end didn't hold up too well in a tough run through insulation. It did make a very sharp turn at the entry through a two inch deep whole and eventually after many many tries I was able to find it....
