The Klein Tools Chicago® Grip for Bare Wire 0.31 to 0.53-Inch is designed for pulling bare ACSR, aluminum, and stranded copper cables in utility and electrical applications. Its round, smooth inside jaw contour maximizes contact with conductors, reducing the risk of damage during tensioning and installation. The grip is manufactured from drop-forged, heat-treated steel for durability and long-term performance in demanding environments. Each unit is hand-inspected and tested to rated load capacity to ensure reliable operation in the field.

This grip is ideal for temporary cable installations in line work, electrical distribution, and construction settings. It is not intended for permanent anchorage or human support. The locking handle provides secure engagement, and the smooth jaws help minimize slippage during cable handling.
