25 ft Steel Fish Tape

The Greenlee 438-2X is a flat steel fish tape designed for electricians routing wire through concealed spaces. Its 25 ft length reaches above ceilings, under carpets, and through walls where traditional tapes cannot. The peach-coloured winder case includes a crank handle for compact storage. This tool suits professionals pulling cable in residential or commercial installations.

25 ft flat steel reach

The single specification that decides fit is the 25 ft tape length. It determines the maximum single-run distance you can pull wire without splicing or adding extensions. The flat steel profile pushes through insulation and around bends while resisting kinks. If your typical conduit runs exceed this distance, this tape will fall short.

Winder case integration

The built-in winder case keeps the steel tape coiled and protected inside a tool bag or on a belt clip. The crank handle lets you deploy and retract the tape quickly without tangling. It frees up pocket space that loose coils would occupy and prevents the tape edges from snagging on other tools. No external reel or mounting hardware is required.

Questions about this item

How far does the 25 ft steel tape actually reach when pulling wire above a ceiling?

The flat steel tape extends 25 ft, letting you push or pull wire above ceilings, under carpets and through walls where a shorter tape cannot reach.

What does the 1/4 in width mean for the type of conduit or opening I can feed it through?

At 1/4 in wide the flat tape fits through standard knock-outs and tight cavities that would block a wider tape.

What does the winder case with crank handle require for mounting or storage on a job site?

The integrated winder case stores the tape compactly and the crank handle lets you reel it in by hand without extra brackets.
