Abstract
A fish tape measurement device is disclosed. The fish tape measurement device comprises a body component that encases a spool of wire. The wire on the spool is a narrow, flat wire which comprises a plurality of measuring units marked throughout. The wire on the spool can wind in and out from approximately 100 to 200 feet. Thus, the markings will provide electricians with an exact length measurement in order to prevent cable and wire waste when working on a jobsite.
Claims20
A fish tape measurement device that provides a user with an electrical fish tape tool with measurement markings along its length, the fish tape measurement device comprising:
- a body component;
- a spool of fish tape;
- and
- a plurality of measuring units;
- wherein the body component encases the spool of fish tape;
- wherein the fish tape comprises the plurality of measuring units marked throughout its length;
- and
- further wherein the plurality of measuring units provide electricians with an exact length measurement in order to prevent cable and wire waste when working on a jobsite.
A fish tape measurement device that provides a user with an electrical fish tape tool with measurement markings along its length, the fish tape measurement device comprising:
- a body component comprising a handle integrally molded with the body component;
- a spool of fish tape;
- and
- a plurality of measuring units which can be in feet, inches, yards, or metric measurements;
- wherein the body component encases the spool of fish tape;
- wherein the spool of fish tape rotates within the body component;
- wherein the body component comprises an opening for expelling the fish tape from the spool;
- wherein a length of the fish tape is wound around and connected at one end to the spool, the other end of the fish tape extends from the opening, allowing the fish tape to be unwound and re-wound through the opening from and onto the spool;
- wherein the fish tape comprises the plurality of measuring units marked throughout its length;
- wherein the plurality of measuring units are inscribed, painted, etched, or stamped to the fish tape;
- wherein a length of wire that is required inside a conduit is determined;
- and
- further wherein the plurality of measuring units provide electricians with an exact length measurement in order to prevent cable and wire waste when working on a jobsite.
A method of ensuring that electricians can make precise measurements and cuts for their materials, the method comprising the following steps:
- providing a fish tape measurement device comprising a body component that encases a spool of wire, with a plurality of measuring units marked throughout;
- unspooling the wire with the plurality of measuring units marked throughout;
- inserting the wire into a conduit and using the measuring units to determine how much wire to cut;
- and
- cutting the appropriate amount of wire based on the measurement units.
