This Chicago Grip is designed specifically to work with coated guy strand and EHS cable. Klein grips are made of drop-forged, quality US steel and heat treated for strength and durability. The chain, toggle and shackle keep the grip from falling off the cable. The 5-Inch jaw length increases the surface area contact with the cable minimizing cable damage. The sawtooth jaw profile resists galvanization build-up.

  • Aggressive sawtooth jaw profile resists build-up from galvanized coating on guy strand and EHS cables
  • Equipped with chain, toggle and shackle to keep grip from falling off the cable
  • Designed for cable sizes 0.218 to 0.55-Inch (5.54 to 13.97 mm)
  • 5-Inch (127 mm) jaw length for extra gripping area on stranded cable and spring that closes grip on cable helping to maintain initial position
  • Made in USA
  • Locking handle keeps jaw open while grip is placed on cable with a hot stick

Warnings:Before each use, clean jaw area and inspect grip for proper operation to avoid slippage; When used on/near energized lines, ground, insulate, or isolate grip before pulling; Do not exceed rated capacity; Always match proper size and type of grip to application; Grips are to be used for temporary installation, not for permanent anchorage.
