IDEAL Tuff-Grip PRO Boasts Wider, More Ergonomic Handle, New Video Proves Ruggedness



SYCAMORE, IL (June 2, 2006) - The Tuff-Grip PRO(TM) Fish Tape from IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. is a significantly improved version of its popular Tuff-Grip(TM) tape that is now lighter, stronger and easier to carry, payout and rewind.

One of the highlights of its design is a larger, more ergonomic handle that provides electricians with better overall control, along with maximum pulling strength and easier rewinding. Thirty percent wider than the first generation of Tuff-Grip fish tapes, the handle easily accommodates large, gloved hands while its non-slip fingertip grooves provide a secure grip and added handling comfort.

The Tuff-Grip PRO is constructed of polypropylene plastic allowing for thicker, stronger yet lighter walls in the case. A newly designed case simplifies the process of installing replacement tapes, while the full-perimeter handle reduces the intake of dirt and moisture. Its unique Tuff-Cuff(TM) tape retaining feature keeps tape properly positioned in the opening.

Extensive drop testing in a wide assortment of environmental conditions, including freezing weather, conclusively demonstrated the casing's impressive strength.

A new 6:40 minute video has been posted on the IDEAL website documenting the Tuff Grip(TM) PRO going head-to-head with three major competitors' fish tapes in a crushing 25-foot drop test. All four fish tapes are dropped simultaneously from the same platform to assure no discrepancies in the testing. To discover what fish tape wins (and which ones literally go to pieces) visit:
