This Klein Tools cable grip is a must - have for working with Messenger and Guy Strand cables. It comes with one cable grip having a 0.5 - inch capacity. Ideal when you need a light and compact grip and cable deformation isn't an issue. It's perfect for steel strand cables. The grip works well with cables having a diameter ranging from 0.125 to 0.500 inches (3.18 to 12.70 mm). The knurled jaw applies gripping pressure to a 1/4 - inch (6.35 mm) cable area. With a maximum safe load of 5000 pounds (2268 kg), it's highly reliable. Each grip is individually hand - inspected and actuated to ensure proper function. Rigorous testing up to the rated load guarantees top - notch quality. Made from custom drop - forged steel, machined and heat - treated for great durability, this cable grip is a great addition to your toolkit.
Using this cable grip is easy. First, make sure the cable diameter is within the 0.125 to 0.500 - inch range. Place the cable in the grip and ensure it fits well. You can then use it to pull the cable as needed, but always keep in mind the maximum safe load of 5000 pounds. When handling the grip, be careful not to overload it. Also, avoid using it on cables that are not Messenger or Guy Strand types. For maintenance, after each use, clean the grip to remove any dirt or debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Periodically check for any signs of wear and tear, and if you notice anything wrong, stop using it and get it inspected.
