Product Description
Milwaukee 25 ft. 1/8 in. Steel Fish Tape
Model Number: 48-22-4171
The Milwaukee 48-22-4171 is a 25 ft. 1/8 in. Steel Fish Tape — a compact-length professional electrician's fish tape for pulling wire and cable through conduit runs and wall cavities in residential and light commercial electrical work where the 25 ft. length covers the most common single-room pull distances. Steel fish tape is the standard tool for conduit wire pulling in commercial and residential electrical work — the steel tape's longitudinal stiffness allows it to be pushed through conduit bends and horizontal runs without buckling, while its flexibility navigates direction changes at swept elbows and conduit bends. The 25 ft. compact length is the right format for residential conduit runs between boxes, the most common residential wire fishing tasks through finished wall cavities from outlet to outlet, and light commercial conduit pulls where the run length fits within 25 ft.
The 1/8 in. tape width is the standard professional fish tape dimension for threading through standard 1/2 in. and larger conduit without binding, providing adequate stiffness for pushing through moderate horizontal runs and simple bends while remaining flexible for navigating standard conduit configurations. Milwaukee builds the fish tape with a low-friction coating on the tape surface that reduces resistance as the tape slides through conduit — particularly beneficial on longer pulls through multiple bends where tape-to-conduit friction would otherwise require increasing push force at the feed end. The polyester-case reel provides smooth, controlled tape feed-out and consistent retrieval speed for fast, professional fishing operations. A professional hook at the tape's working end provides the wire and cable pull attachment point for direct wire pulling after the tape reaches the pull location.
See Milwaukee's complete fish tape lineup for all available lengths including 50 ft. and 100 ft. for longer pulls, and fiberglass non-conductive options for live work safety.
