Do you know where I can get the tip of my fiberglass fishtape repaired?
When disassembling, make sure to create a new head and then reassemble carefully.
Some individuals may perceive your statements as jokes. However, there is truth in what you say. The opposite end contains another tip.
You are correct. As the guy mentioned, some people may think you are joking. Fortunately, it is usually easier to rectify the situation, and they often replace it with a new one.
You might want to consider ordering one online. I had a similar problem before but managed to find one.
Try looking for another head link on eBay.
If you’re referring to the leader for wire hooking, you can purchase and crimp them yourself. Alternatively, wholesale houses can put on a new one at no cost.
Do most supply stores provide this service?

Return it to REENLEE where you obtained it, as they have a warranty.

Put a 1-hole lug on it.
Let it stay broken. Just secure the wires with tape. Fiberglass tapes can be delicate.
Take everything apart and rewind it, then use the other end. That’s how it usually works with a Klein tool.

Just bite the bullet and purchase a new one. It’s preferable to repairing it and it breaking midway through an important pull. Haha
