HIGHLIGHTS:

The Klein Tools 1611-30 Chicago Grip for Weatherproof Wire is engineered specifically for pulling weatherproof-coated copper, ACSR, and AAC conductors.

Every Klein grip is individually hand inspected, actuated for proper function, and rigorously tested to its rated load, ensuring dependable performance and reliable operation in the field.

Designed for weatherproof-coated conductors, this Chicago Grip accommodates cable diameters from 0.31 to 0.53-Inch (7.87 to 13.46 mm). Its spring-loaded jaw allows for quick placement on the cable, while the locking handle keeps the jaw open during installation for improved ease of use.
