Fish tape

A fish tape case configured to house fish tape comprising:

• a shell including
• an upper shell part including an upper base wall, an inner side wall extending from an inner perimeter of the upper base wall, an outer side wall extending from an outer perimeter of the upper base wall,
• a lower shell part including a lower base wall, an inner side wall extending from an inner perimeter of the lower base wall, an outer side wall extending from an outer perimeter of the lower base wall,
• wherein the inner side walls mate together and form a central aperture, and the outer side walls mate together and define an outer diameter, and a cavity is formed by the walls, and
• the outer side wall of the upper shell part having an opening therethrough in communication with the cavity;
• and
• a storage tray including an upper base wall, a lower base wall, an inner side wall extending from an inner perimeter of the lower base wall of the storage tray, an outer side wall extending between outer perimeters of the base walls of the storage tray and defining an outer diameter of the storage tray, the walls of the storage tray defining a cavity therein, the inner side wall of the storage tray and the upper base wall of the storage tray defining an opening which is in communication with the cavity and through which the fish tape can pass;
• and
• wherein the fish tape case does not include a handle, and
• wherein the walls of the shell are devoid of surfaces which would indicate or suggest to a user as to how to grip the fish tape case.
