Chicago Grip, 0.75 to 1-Inch High Strength Cables

The Klein Tools 1628-18 Chicago Grip is designed for EHS, Messenger, and Guy Strand cable. The double V grooves provide four-point contact, which reduces chances of slipping and also provides proper alignment of wire and cable. All Klein grips are manufactured from custom drop-forged steel that is machined and heat treated for excellent durability. Each grip is individually hand inspected and actuated for proper function. Grips are also rigorously tested and pulled to rated load to ensure the highest quality and reliability.

Warnings

• Do not exceed rated capacity.
• Grips are to be used for temporary installation, not for permanent anchorage.
• 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.
• Always match proper size and type of grip to application.
