Product Overview
The Klein 1684-74 Chicago Grip is engineered for demanding cable pulling applications where secure gripping performance is critical. When pulling EHS galvanized steel cable, jaw surfaces can become coated with galvanizing, increasing the risk of slippage. The curved, milled double V jaw design helps maintain positive grip while reducing potential cable damage.
Manufactured in the USA, this grip is suitable for aircraft cable, EHS, messenger strand, and guy strand applications, making it a reliable tool for electrical utility, telecommunications, and overhead line work.
