Key Features:

  • 1656-20H Chicago grip with hot-line latch for bare conductors 0.2 in. to 0.4 in. (5.08 to 10.16 mm) in diameter
  • 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) maximum safe load
  • Steel construction, 12.5 in. (31.8 cm) overall length, 2.13 in. (5.4 cm) wide, 3.15 lbs (1.4 kg)
  • 4 in. (10.2 cm) round jaw with a smooth, toothless gripping surface for stranded copper, ACSR and AAC
  • Locking handle plus a hot-line latch that closes automatically when the stick is removed

Benefits:

  • Smooth round jaws spread the hold along 4 in. of conductor instead of biting it at tooth points
  • The automatic latch guards against the grip disengaging from the wire once the stick comes off
  • A stated 4,500 lb safe load gives a hard number to check the planned pull against
  • Covering copper, ACSR and AAC lets one grip handle the common bare conductor types on a distribution line
  • At 3.15 lbs it is light enough to place and set on the end of a hot stick
