Designed for Secure Cable Pulling
The longer jaws are designed to achieve a firm hold on compatible cable, helping minimize the possibility of slippage during pulling. The Double-V jaw contour provides the gripping geometry needed for the specified cable range, while the latch helps keep the cable seated in the jaws.
The large eye at the end of the grip is another practical feature for field work. It provides a connection point that can accept larger hooks from common pulling and rigging equipment.
Recommended Applications
This parallel jaw grip is suitable for professional tasks involving:
Aircraft cable pulling
Messenger cable installation
Guy strand pulling
Utility construction
Telecommunications work
Overhead line installation and maintenance
General wire-pulling operations
Important Safety Information
The 10,000-pound maximum safe load must not be exceeded. Klein Tools recommends selecting the correct grip size and type for the specific cable and application. Before each use, the jaw area should be cleaned and the grip inspected to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of slippage.
These grips are intended for temporary installation, not permanent anchorage. When used on or near energized lines, the grip must be properly grounded, insulated, or isolated before pulling.
1686-10 vs. 1686-20
Klein Tools also offers the 1686-20, which has the same general 4-3/8-inch jaw configuration and cable capacity as the 1686-10 but uses knurled jaws instead of smooth jaws. The 1686-10 featured here uses smooth teeth.
Summary
The Klein Tools 1686-10 Parallel Jaw Grip, 4-3/8-Inch is a durable wire-pulling accessory for professionals working with aircraft cable, messenger, and guy strand. Its 4-3/8-inch Double-V jaws, 10,000-pound maximum safe load, steel construction, retaining latch, and large-diameter eye make it a dependable choice for demanding temporary cable-pulling applications.
