SWANLAKE 11' Fish Tape

I installed 60 recessed lighting in my home and it was worth every bit of the money I paid, one of the rod did break but I'm not going to blame that on quality after using it about the 50th time at that point... But still had enough rods to replace the one that broke this kit is awesome...

These rods are graphite are just flexible enough to bypass obstructions in the walls or ceilings without deviating off course. There’s also an array of tips that made my projects easier.

These sticks are good, but they break easily. You have to know what these sticks are capable of, and use heavier rods for heavier jobs. For small jobs and in tight spaces, these are the best things to use.

Very useful tool for solo diy

The fiberglass rods separate from the brass ends when you apply any type of light pulling force. Lucky I had a fish tape, that is the only thing this will pull. 14 or 12 ga Romex wire is immediate separation.

It's OK. An initial durability problem I experienced on first use with a threaded portion of one of the fiberglass sections required a return since it rendered the kit's functionality impaired. But this event may have been a fluke failure. It happens sometimes, but may suggest this kit is better positioned as a "value price tool" for occasional "non-professional" trade tasks use by a Homeowner or maybe a helpful soul enlisted to run "a" cable.It is proving really useful for stabilizing the video imaging of my Depstech DS300 Endoscope however. Otherwise, if you need more serviceability and reliability for repeated cable and wire pulls in-wall and not in the comfort of a well-formed metal conduit or maybe a project house constructed of LEGO pieces, you'll want to spend more money and buy a better tool.Basic qualities:-Fiberglass rod flexibility is good allowing at least 30 degrees of bending flex depending on the total number of sections employed. This amount of freedom can increase with longer assemblies of these sections without stressing the fiberglass.-Everything screws together with precision.-There is no visual Hint, Tip or path of enlightenment per se included with the packaging on how one might use the accessory pulling/pushing tips so explore and discover. One is magnetic.What else?-The packaging will serve well for storage and is well conceived and pretty clever!-The fiberglass rod section bright color helps visibility somewhat with a light source present in-wall but I didn't notice any "glow" otherwise.-Working in a live current environment should be avoided due to the metal (brass?) segments.-Zip tying it to your semi-rigid endoscope is pure magic for helping with the fixed focus issues that generate artifacts during inspections.-Super cheap cost-wise when compared to more trade professional use oriented offerings....It's OK and priced accordingly.

I bought these to run wires for my new ceiling lights. I have vaulted ceilings which means basically no attic space. The male threaded end that connects to the next piece could be stronger. I go mine in a bind and the threaded end broke. But I feel that was my fault or maybe just one of those things, so I do not ding them for that.

I needed to run some ethernet cable through walls, attics, and the basement. This kit helped do all that and saved me time AND money. Each rod screws together easily with so many different end attachments to suit your specific need.Need to runs wires or cables in your home? Get this.

A really nice kit, good sturdy quality

It is a good idea. not very well executed.It breaks at the joints even when you apply minimum force.Waist of money.

Disappointing, broken on the first use from a little bit of flex.

Bought 2 kits,3 rods broke on first usage.Brass fittings just poped and another one, the male treaded part snapped off while getting out of a box.Due to their really short lengths, stress go into the fittings when flexin the rods.Fittings are not slanted so you’ll gonna get stuck into conduit junction or Other irregularities . 8 fittings on 11ft of rod, you’ll get stuck 8 times more than regular rods..🤷‍♂️But yes, they fit into your packout but they not worth it.

Thread snapped when running it up a wall with a slight bend. Not as strong as I was expecting.
