Capacity (1628-16)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Klein Tools Chicago Grip for High-Strength Cables 0.62-Inch (model 1628-16) is a heavy-duty wire pulling grip for extra-high-strength (EHS) cable, aircraft cable, messenger and guy strand. This is a Chicago grip designed for high-load tensioning and sagging of strand from 0.31 to 0.62 in. (7.87 to 15.75 mm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a maximum safe load of 15,000 lb (6,803.9 kg), this is the grip for serious EHS work. The long 7-1\/4 in. jaw spreads the clamping force over a lot of cable, and the smooth double V jaw grooves create four-point contact that resists slipping while keeping the strand straight in the jaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA locking handle holds the jaw open, which lets you hang the grip on a hot stick and place it without your hands near the line. That matters on energized work and on any job where you are reaching out from a bucket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grip is drop-forged steel, machined and heat treated. Klein hand inspects each unit, actuates it for function and proof-tests it to rated load, and the 1628-16 is made in the USA. Expect a hefty tool at about 13.7 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis grip belongs with transmission and distribution line crews, utility contractors and anyone tensioning high-strength guy and messenger strand where a lighter Haven's grip is not rated for the load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-key-specifications\" class=\"acc\" open\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\u003ctable class=\"aplusspecs\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrip Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChicago Grip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable Types\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAircraft, EHS, messenger, guy strand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.31 to 0.62 in.
