This Klein Tools Parallel Jaw Grip comes with a single unit. It's lightweight and compact, capable of pulling an incredibly wide variety of cable sizes and types. The round inside-jaw contour is designed for maximum contact, which helps reduce conductor damage. The serrated lower jaw can firmly hold insulated cables and conductors. There's a latch in the design that stops the grip from dropping if the jaws disengage from the cable. The large-diameter eye can fit large hooks on hoists, winches, and tackle blocks. It's a compact type with special features like a hot latch and spring. The overall length is 11.7 inches (29.7 cm), suitable for messenger, EHS, and coated cables with a diameter from 0.625 inches to 1.250 inches (15.87 to 31.75 mm). The jaw type is round - serrated, and the jaw length is 4.5 inches (11.4 cm). It has a maximum safe load of 7500 lb (3400 kg) and weighs 4.8 lb (2.2 kg).
Using this Klein Tools Parallel Jaw Grip is easy. First, open the jaws and place the cable between them. Make sure the cable fits well with the serrated lower jaw for a firm hold. The latch will keep the grip secure even if the jaws accidentally disengage from the cable. When using it with hoists, winches, or tackle blocks, attach the large - diameter eye to the appropriate hook. For safety, always check the cable diameter to ensure it's within the 0.625 - 1.250 inches range and don't exceed the maximum safe load of 7500 lb. After use, clean the grip to remove any dirt or debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust and damage. If you notice any wear and tear on the jaws or the latch, it's a good idea to have it checked or replaced.
