Built specifically for trade industry professionals, these Klein tools withstand challenging jobsites while ensuring professionals get accurate results.

Klein's extensive test and measurement lineup includes multimeters for measuring AC/DC voltage, resistance, and current, along with clamp meters designed for increased accuracy with easy-to-read results. Electrical testers provide quick verification of circuits, while both infrared and probe thermometers offer temperature measurement solutions.

For visual inspection in compact and tight spaces, Klein's test and measurement selection provides users with borescopes, in tandem with thermal imagers for heat pattern detection. High-voltage testers ensure safety when working with higher voltages, and electrical test kits provide complete testing solutions for a wide range of applications.

When using multimeters, always start with a high range and dial down to avoid potential problems from ranges that are too low.

Cable Installation: Klein Fish Tapes, Poles & Rods

Fish tapes and fish rods are one of the most important tools in lineman and electrical trades, used to run wire and cable through out-of-reach and potentially hazardous areas. Klein has a tool for whatver the need is.

Klein Fish Tapes come in both steel and nylon-coated fiberglass options, ranging from 25 to 250 feet in length. Housed in durable round plastic cases and featuring laser-etched markings to accurately measure conduit runs they excel at pulling wires through steel conduit in walls, ceilings, or underground installations, offering the perfect balance of flexibility and strength.

Klein Fish Rods, also known as poles or sticks, are made of durable fiberglass with Protective Splinter Guard™ coating to prevent hand injuries. These rods are formed in straight, connectable sections perfect for pulling wires over shorter distances, particularly in ceilings, attics, or wall cavities. They're also compatible with accessories like lights, hooks, magnets, and chains, allowing electricians to navigate challenging installations.
