- 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
- For use on aluminum, copper, weatherproof coated wire, PVC covered conductors and messenger and guy strand
- Locking handle keeps jaw open while grip is placed on cable with a hot stick
