Wanted a draw tape that was easily wound back onto a reel after use as was getting tired of previous tapes getting tangle. It’s a solid metal tape with a nice rounded end to push through easily once out the other end. Was very cheap and works really well.
I got this when needed to pass my security cameras.
Out side on my House.
In my loft passing the Wiring to the security control system. But later got WiFi IP Camara system.
Handle snapped after second use. It struggles to wind itself back in which puts pressure on the plastic casing and handle which causes it to snag then eventually break
Excellent product, sturdy and easy to use. Only set back was,not having a
winding to feed the tape or retract it.
In meinem Garten habe ich es fr ein 25m Wellrohr 50mm bentigt. Ich bin weder mit Kabel oder mit anderen Methoden durchgekommen. Bei ca. 20m war Schluss. Dieser Zugdraht war hier optimal, hat sofort funktioniert. Der Draht ist lig, aber im Garten macht das berhaupt nichts. Fr kleinere Querschnitte vermutlich etwas weniger geeignet.
Been looking for one of these for a while but didn’t know what they were called. Have used it to full Ethernet +bales under the floors and it has been a godsend.
Best thing since they invented the wheel! After spending hours yesterday trying to get wires through conduit in my van that I’m converting I gave up and orderd this. It’s taken me two minutes to do what I spent 2 hours trying to do yesterday!
Der Zugdraht ist optimal fr KG Rohre und Glatte Rohre geeignet, jedoch nicht optimal geeignet fr Leerrohre oder Betonrohre da die spitze hier gerne verhakt.
This item is excellent for routing through conduit where no other tool will do it.
I have some 20mm conduit buried under my drive for the gate openers and sensors and it’s pretty difficult to route cable through convoluted conduit as it’s not smooth inside.
This fish tape gets the job done. The best thing is the ability to rotate the entire length of deployed tape to get around corners.
Get the fish tape through, put your cable through the end of the fish tape and tape the cable back on itself to create a loop. This makes the joint smaller and much stronger. The pull it all back through.
You will need gloves if you’re not used to using these, one because it can be hard to grip, plus it’s covered in grease to stop the coiled high carbon steel from rusting.
Not sure how this would work in the trade as the enclosure is only light plastic and reeling back in you can already see it stressing – but for domestic and light commercial you really can’t go wrong at this price.
As someone else has pointed out – this is overoiled. Just be aware when using the first time – unpackage and unroll for the first time outside

It really makes pulling cables inside the wall so easy, great product!
Did the job. Very robust, successful in getting a cable from house to garage over fifteen meters away using an existing buried conduit.
Happy with the purchase
Leider nicht das was wollte mute zurck schicken aber sonst alles ok
Excellent, the cable can be very stiff at times, but it works really well. (TIP) Watch your hands when reeling the wire back in. I purchased this to run ethernet cable around my home, nothing else but one of these would do. I ran cable in places that have never seen day light. Very useful tool to have, not too expensive either.
sehr guter Zugdraht und sehr stabil. Habe den Zugdraht erstmalig benutzt, um ein 5x4mm2-Kabel durch ein 100-er KG-Rohr mit mehreren 45- und 90-Grad-Bgen auf 25 Meter Lnge zu ziehen. Nichts anderes funktionierte. Ganz klare Kaufempfehlung
I used it to route an mains cable behind a stud wall
I wish I bought this years ago – it makes the job so easy
Saved me a fortune calling out an electrician. Build quality very good for the price. I don’t know if it would be suitable for lots of use (I reckon professionals use something a bit more expensive) but I have no complaints. Delivery was really fast too.
It worked for what I wanted. A little stiffer than I expected but functioned well. It came lightly greased as you would expect. Wind out what you need from the cassette and wipe it clean first.
Really usefull tool, good quality for the price, it is doing the job!
Very prompt delivery from this seller and, goods do the job as described, Thanks.
Excellently priced and fast delivery. Unused yet, but definitely well built. Better than loose nylon fish tape used to use
I had an under counter light go faulty, and in the attempt to get it off the cabinet I’d accidentally pulled through the wire behind the cabinet. The cavity behind the plasterboard had a few battens, but I couldn’t see where.
I had tried using the screw rods and the larger orange fish wire, but after three hours of trying, no luck. Thought I had nothing to lose in buying this.
It is quite rigid, but flexible enough. I was able to ‘steer’ it towards the exit hole at the top of the cabinet. After a bit of fiddling and 15mins later, complete success. Managed to pull through a messenger string for my cable when it arrives.
The other items I bought were good value too, but I just couldn’t get them to where I needed.
Tricky to wind back in after use but made short work of feeding several cables through the wall. Previous reviews mentioned people being covered with black grease whilst using but had this wasn’t my experience at all.
What an amazing tool. I had one similar many years ago…….
This did the job perfectly.
Highly recommend.
This is a really cheap alternative to a more expensive brand name but is a very good tool. I have had it out to full extension and was impressed with the toughness of the winding mechanism. Good tool
Einfach klasse !
3×2.5qmm ber 30m eingezogen…perfekt !
Bei Bedarf ggf. noch Kabelgleitmittel verwenden…
A very big item, bigger than expected , but for the price was excellent value
Didn’t get to use it fully bit seems to fit the bill… very gooey!
Very happy. It does the job. Just wipe off the oil before you start to keep things from getting oily. The wire is very strong.
It works but grease applied on the cable and stubborn reel will eventually drive you crazy. Invest in extensions rods instead.
Hat Perfect funktioniert. Ziel war es, durch ein 30m Abwasserrohr einen Gartenschlauch zu ziehen.
Flachstahl ist robust, ging wie von selbst durch das Rohr.
System ist sicher nicht fr kleines Leerrohr geeignet, dafr gibt es andere filigranere Systeme mit Glasfaser.
Bin voll zufrieden.
It does the job its designed for and neatly stores away
Sehr gut!!!Der beste Zugdraht den ich je habe!!! Hab damit 20 Quadrat 50 m verlegt. Damit kann man ein Auto ziehe
DOES WHAT IT NEED TO DO & GOOD PRICE, MARKED IT DOWN A STAR DUE TO OIL LEAKING FROM BODY,ONCE UN WOUND & CLEANED ALL GOOD
Couldn’t have done without this thing, pulled cable through inaccessible ceiling joists meaning the floor didn’t have to be lifted. Saved hours of work.. very happy.
Good as a novelty item but nothing beats the good old coat hange
I use it a lot and it has paid for itsself 5 times ove
Stiff and flexible enough to take a camera to inspect a waste water pipe. It met my expectations.
Casing a bit flimsy but it does the job, beware the tape is covered in black oil I cleaned it before use.
Well I used it to feed two RG45 cables through difficult positions. Its not very flexible and very stiff, but that’s a good thing.
I had some nylon electrical draw tape and that was completely useless. This Fish Tape worked well.
The feed is ok but it wasn’t impressed when I covered it in brick dust. Not a complaint on the product as its a bit of newbie error.
helped me no end with fishing cat 6e cable all round my house
This was at the cheaper end of the scale but did what I wanted it for and now have in case I need it again.
pleased with this, seems better than a nylon one, and in a handy storage case
apparently I need to add some more words for this review to submi
No problems with it jamming as some people have complained. No instructions, so perhaps they just tried to pull the tape out without rotating the black handle relative to the blue case? The black lubricant is messy but once removed and replaced with WD40, this is no problem either. Quick delivery and cheap price. Fine for occasional DIY use.
I use it for running lines through the aluminium boom of a yacht. Works very well and is very cheap.
I bought this to feed an electric cable underground from my shed to a water feature. Did the job really well. It was easy to use. Be careful of the grease though as this gets all over your hands.
No, the product doesn’t come with instructions, but if you’re buying one, then you probably already have the idea. For those who don’t, pull the tape to remove it, but move the handle to retract (it auto brakes).
The tape has a handy loop on the end for carrying your cables.
Downsides – the tape has a coating of black grease, which if you are not careful will end up on carpets and walls. Guessing this is necessary for the tape to operate, but it does seem a shame.
Overall, a really good product that does exactly what it should. Just a shame it doesn’t drill through joists whilst it’s down there!
