Designed for use on aluminum, copper, weatherproof coated wire, PVC covered conductors and messenger and guy strand. The Chicago style grip was designed for cable sizes from 0.12-Inch to 1.0-Inch (3.10 to 25.4 mm). When pulling EHS (extra-high-strength) galvanized-steel cable, the galvanizing has a tendency to coat the jaws of any grip, causing the cable to slip. Double V contour reduces the possibility of slippage and damage to the cable.WARNING Before each use, clean jaw area and inspect grip for proper operation to avoid slippage. When used on/near energized lines, ground, insulate, or isolate grip before pulling. Do not exceed rated capacity. Do not exceed rated capacity. Grips are to be used for temporary installation, not for permanent anchorage.
