Pulls common tree wire without damaging the cable jacket
HDPE-coated cable or “tree wire” is often used in heavily wooded areas because of its ability to withstand
contact with branches and falling trees during bad weather. The slippery nature of tree wire, however, can
present diculties for linemen when pulling.
Klein’s Parallel Jaw Grips are specically designed to securely pull common tree wire cable without
damaging the cable jacket. The common cable types include General Cable, Hendrix
®
* aerial systems,
Rite Lite BLL conductor and Southwire

grit technology.
