Using the Klein Tools 1656 - 40 Chicago Grip is straightforward. First, select the appropriate cable within the specified diameter range of 0.53' to 0.74' (13 to 19 mm). Place the cable between the round jaws of the grip. The smooth jaw design will grip the cable firmly with maximum contact. When pulling the cable, the reduced slippage design will make your job easier. Just make sure not to exceed the maximum safe load of 8000 lb (3629 kg). As for maintenance, keep the grip clean after each use. You can wipe it down with a dry cloth. Periodically check the jaws for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, it's best to stop using the grip and get it inspected. Store the grip in a dry place to prevent rusting and ensure its long - term durability.
