Which tool is used to run wire through conduit?

• A. Fish tape
• B. Conduit bender
• C. Wire strippers
• D. Multimeters

Answer: (A)

Running wire through conduit requires a pulling aid that can feed through bends without snagging. Fish tape is designed for this task: a long, flexible strand (steel or fiberglass) with a pull eye or hook at the end. You push the tape through the conduit run, grab the end that comes out at the other access point, attach the wire to the tape, and then pull the tape back to pull the wire through. This lets you thread conductors through turns and cramped spaces inside conduit.

Conduit bender is used to shape the conduit itself to fit the installation, not to pull wire through. Wire strippers remove insulation from conductors once they’re through, and multimeters measure electrical values, not for pulling.
