Carefully inspect jaw condition, proper alignment of jaws and all parts,
and possible distortion caused by exceeding safe-load specifications. Grips should
operate smoothly. Spring-loaded grips should lock open with loop handle in "Down"
position and should close automatically with loop handle "Up." The Klein Parallel
Jaw Grip may be tested by opening and closing the jaws by hand, exercising proper
caution. All parts and rivets should be checked for distortion

Note:
Conductors may have a die-grease coating which can deposit on grip jaws. New conductors should be wiped clean before grip application.
Grip jaws should be wiped clean of all grease before use.
Never repair any grip.
Grips that are bent, misaligned, or otherwise distorted should be discarded and replaced.
If there is ever a question about the safe condition of any grip, please contact Klein Tools Customer Service directly

TM
Grips are widely used in the power, communications, and general construction fields
to pull wire and cable. The grips maintain temporary tension until the wire or cable can be permanently terminated.

•
Locking loop handles cable the jaws to be held in an open position for easy
placement on wire or
•
Available in Round, Double V, Single V and Aggressive jaw contours

Parallel Jaw Grips
Lightweight compact grips pull an exceptionally wide range of cable
types and sizes
•
Latch helps maintain cable position
•
Large-diameter eye accommodates large hooks on hoists, winches and tackle blocks

™
Grips
Designed for use when a light, compact grip is desired where
conductor deformation is not a factor
•
Knurled eccentric jaw applies gripping pressure to 1/4" of cable area
•
Some models include a swing latch that holds cable securely in jaw
•
Recommended for messenger and guy strand and wire rope
•
1625 Series can be used for wire rope
1625-20
Hot-line Latch
Designed for placing a grip on cable with a hot-line stick.
•
The three notches in the hot-line latch adjust the balance of the grip to better match the direction of the cable sag
•
When stick is removed, latch closes automatically to guard against grip accidentally disengaging from wire
•
Standard hot-line grips are not supplied with springs or lock-open features
•
Some grips are available with a positionable latch
Wire Pulling Grips Warnings

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

Selecting the Proper Grip
Grip Recommendation
Klein Tools offers a service of recommending the proper grip for a particular application based on a sample of cable.
This service is free of charge. All that we require is a minimum 6-9 foot (2-3 m) length of cable.
If there is ever a question about the safe condition of any grip, please contact Klein Tools at
844.395.3235
or email:
HIsupport@kleintools.com
Three basic factors are needed in order to determine the proper grip for each specific application:
1. Type of wire or cable
2. AWG or MCM (diameter) of wire or cable.
(ACSR, ACSS, AAC, Copper, Steel Strand).
3. Maximum safe load required.
