120 ft Blued-Steel Fish Tape
The Ideal 31-056 is a flat steel fish tape measuring 120 ft with a 1/8 in width. Its formed hook end and 1,600 lb tensile strength suit electricians pulling wire through long conduit runs. The rotating Tuff-Grip Pro case stores the tape neatly.
High Column Strength for Sustained Pulls
The tape's high column strength resists buckling during extended pushes through multiple bends, maintaining rigidity where thinner tapes would fold. Laser-etched 12-in increments let the user gauge conduit length continuously without interrupting the pull to measure.
Rotating Case Speeds Setup
The 12 in diameter plastic case rotates freely, paying out tape smoothly and reducing kinks that jam the run. The non-oily finish keeps hands and conductors clean, while the blue case is easy to spot on a crowded job site.

Questions about this item
Does the 120 ft blued-steel tape generate heat or noise when pulled through conduit all day?
No, the tape is a passive steel tool with no motor or electronics, so it produces no heat or noise during use.
What size conduit or raceway must already be in place for the 1/8 in tape to pass through?
The tape is designed for runs that accept a 1/8 in flat steel profile and handles wire from 24 AWG up to 10 AWG.
Will the laser-etched 12-increment markings stay readable if I keep using older conduit with rough interiors?
The non-oily, rust-resistant finish and laser-etched increments are built to resist wear from abrasive conduit surfaces.
