Ideal 31-156 Fish Tape Repair Kit

The Ideal 31-156 is a complete fiberglass fish tape repair kit that includes a crimping tool and steel leader. It allows users to create custom fishing lines from scratch for wire pulling tasks. The kit features a molded handle designed for secure gripping during use. It provides a connection rated to withstand 500 lb of pressure.

Professionals and hobbyists needing on-site fish

Electricians and DIY users who need to quickly crimp new eyelets or leaders will find this kit practical. The integrated crimping tool enables repairs in minutes without separate equipment. Buyers who want a pre-assembled fish tape ready for immediate pulling should look at a different product. This kit is built for assembly and repair rather than direct use out of the package.

Steel leader and crimped joints under sustained

The steel leader and crimped connections are engineered to hold firm when subjected to continuous pulling force up to 500 lb. The round steel construction resists deformation during long cable runs through conduit. The molded handle maintains grip stability when tension is applied steadily over time. The crimping tool ensures each joint is formed consistently for reliable performance under load.
