Grip Recommendation
Klein Tools offers a service of recommending the proper grip for a particular application based on a sample of cable.
This service is free of charge. All that we require is a minimum 6-9 foot (2-3 m) length of cable.
If there is ever a question about the safe condition of
any grip, please contact Klein Tools at

Selecting the Proper Grip
Three basic factors are needed in order to determine the proper grip for each specific application:
1. Type of wire or cable
(ACSR, ACSS, AAC, Copper, Steel Strand).
2. AWG or MCM (diameter) of wire or cable.
3. Maximum safe load required.
