Klein introduced new โSplinter Guardโ fish and glow rods. If youโve used fiberglass rods for long, youโll know that they tend to get torn up after constantly rubbing against conduit boxes, drop ceiling frames and threaded rod. The new rods use a protective coating so your hands donโt get full of fiberglass splinters when the rods incur wear over time.
Klein Tools Splinter Guard Fish & Glow Rods
The additional coating on Kleinโs Splinter Guard rods make them extra durable, but theyโre still lightweight. The biggest advantage, of course, is that you can use them without gloves and not risk painful fiberglass splinters. They are available in a variety of lengths and flexibilities (see below). As youโd expect, you can thread the sections together to get to the length needed for your application. Klein also claims they improved on the luminance of the new glow rods so that they glow twice as long and twice as bright.
Dexterity is a big deal when youโre using fiberglass fish tape as you need to feel your way through tighter spotsโsomething thatโs really hard to do with gloved hands. The new coated fish rods from Klein lookย to be a great addition to the product line and really meet an important need.
