If anyone does find a good 1/8 spring steel snake, I'd love to know about
it. Years ago you could buy them in 200 foot lengths, that, when expanded
would lay absolutely flat on the ground. Now these things short and long,
want to stay in a coil, making them useless except for snaking through
conduits

Hi,

My fishing tape (Ideal) broke not long ago, after 15 years. Will need a
new
one.

Was not very happy with the Ideal (in blue case). I've used it a dozen
times in 15 years and it was always very tight going in and out. It was a
steel tape.

Can anyone suggest an easy to handle (in/out) light duty tape (25ft), not
necessarily pro grade.

Rich
