Chicago® Grip for EHS Cable, Curved Jaw

Designed for use on aluminum, copper, weatherproof coated wire, PVC covered conductors and messenger and guy strand. The Chicago style grip was designed for cable sizes from 0.12-Inch to 1.0-Inch (3.10 to 25.4 mm). When pulling EHS (extra-high-strength) galvanized-steel cable, the galvanizing has a tendency to coat the jaws of any grip, causing the cable to slip. Double V contour reduces the possibility of slippage and damage to the cable.

Features

• Locking handle keeps jaw open while grip is placed on cable with a hot stick
• When pulling EHS (extra-high-strength) galvanized-steel cable, the galvanizing has a tendency to coat the jaws of any grip, causing the cable to slip
• Made in USA
• For use on aluminum, copper, weatherproof coated wire, PVC covered conductors and messenger and guy strand
• To reduce the possibility of slippage and damage to the cable, the jaws of this grip are milled on a curve with a double V contour
