Specifications are based on Klein Tools' published information for model 1685-50C.
Built for Coated Cable
Coated guy strand can present a challenge during pulling because the outer coating can interfere with conventional gripping surfaces. The 1685-50C addresses this with a coarse sawtooth jaw profile designed to maintain grip while resisting coating buildup.
The round jaw contour increases the area of contact with the cable, helping distribute the gripping force more effectively. This design is particularly useful when working with coated guy strand and EHS cables within the specified diameter range.
Easy One-Handed Operation
A built-in spring keeps the jaws positioned around the cable, making placement more convenient during field work. The spring-loaded design is especially useful when the grip needs to be installed or repositioned efficiently during pulling operations.
Suitable Applications
The Klein Tools 1685-50C is suitable for professional applications such as:
Guy strand installation
EHS cable pulling
Coated steel cable pulling
Messenger cable work
Utility construction
Telecommunications installation
Overhead line work
Cable tensioning and pulling operations
Safety and Usage Information
The 10,000-pound maximum safe load must not be exceeded. The grip should be matched to the correct cable type and diameter for the application.
Before every use, clean the jaw area and inspect the grip to verify proper operation and help prevent slippage. Klein Tools specifies that wire-pulling grips are intended for temporary installation rather than permanent anchorage. When used on or near energized lines, the grip should be properly grounded, insulated, or isolated before pulling.
Summary
The Klein Tools 1685-50C Parallel Jaw Grip for Coated Guy Strand is a robust solution for professionals pulling coated guy strand, EHS, and messenger cable. Its 5-inch round jaw, coarse sawtooth gripping surface, spring-loaded operation, steel construction, and 10,000-pound maximum safe load make it well suited for demanding utility and wire-pulling applications.
