Chicago® Grips
Chicago® Grip - for Large Diameter Conductors - 1628-40
Designed for hollow conductors and other large-diameter cables.
Round jaws are shaped to provide maximum contact with the cable, virtually eliminating conductor damage.
These grips are special order only. Please allow 30 days for delivery. These are not returnable.
Orders must specify exact outside diameter of cables, circular mills with strand combination, or manufacturer's code.
Each grip is made for one-size cable only.
Minimum-maximum sizes listed indicate the unfinished size-range capability for each Cat. No. Each grip is finished to fit one specific cable size only within range shown.
Chicago® Grip for Bare ACSR, Aluminum and Stranded-Copper Cables - 1656-30
Round, smooth inside jaw contour on this series of grips is ideal for bare ACSR, aluminum, and stranded-copper cables.
Smooth jaws grip with maximum contact and are less likely to damage conductors.
Chicago® Grip - for Aluminum Conductors - 1678-30
Lightweight grips designed for use on aluminum conductors in distribution work.
Round jaws shaped to provide maximum contact with circumference of cable, less likely to damage conductors.
Supplied with spring and locking loop handles, allowing jaws to be held in open position for easier placement on cable.
Can be supplied with hot-line latch on special order.
Chicago® Grip - for Bare Wire - 1613-30
Lightweight, especially economical grip.
Designed for working with solid and stranded bare wire from .08" (2 mm) to .20" (5.1 mm).
Single "V" groove jaw.
Chicago® Grip - for Weatherproof Wire - 1611-30
Round inside jaw contour for weatherproof coated wire.
Notches in jaw provide firm grip on insulation.
Note: Due to various types of weatherproof coatings available, selection of proper grips is determined by outside diameter of cable.
Chicago® Grip - for PVC-Covered Conductors - 1659-30
Serpentine jaws are specially machined to allow insertion of insulated conductor through the jaws, which reduces danger of slippage which might result in insulation damage.
Eliminates necessity of stripping insulation from conductor.
Round inside-jaw contour.
Chicago® Grip for Extra-High-Strength Cables, Messenger, Guy Strand and Conductors - 1613-40
A family of grips for cable sizes from .12" (3.10 mm) to 1.0" (25.4 mm).
Double "V" grooves give four-point contact, reducing chance of slipping and providing proper alignment of wire and cable.
For larger conductors, see our grips with round inside-jaw contour.
Chicago® Grip - with Hot-Line Latch for Bare Conductors - 1613-40H
Hot-line grips for both bare and insulated conductors.
Grip may be placed on wire with hot-line stick.
When stick is removed, latch closes automatically to guard against grip accidentally disengaging from wire.
Standard hot-line grips are not supplied with springs or lock-open features.
When springs or lock-open features are desired, add prefix letter "S" before catalog number (example: S1684-5H).
Has Double V inside-jaw contour.
Chicago® Grip - Curved-Jaw Grip for EHS Cable - 1684-74
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.
To reduce the possibility of slippage and damage to the cable, the jaws of this grip are milled on a curve with a double "V" contour.
Available with hot-line latch and spring.
Chicago® Grip - Bell-System Type Grip - 1684-5AT
1628-16AT is identical to Bell-System type "H" strand puller.
Equipped with chain, toggle and shackle.

Chicago® Grip - "Type B" Strand Puller - 1659-5AT
Similar to Bell-System type "B" strand puller.
Designed to pull 1/4" (6.35 mm) figure-8 telephone cable.
Serpentine grooves grip insulation on strand, preventing slippage.
