These forged steel units are used when pulling or tensioning suspension strand. The KleinTools® L, H, and B Strand Pullers feature a fixed and movable jaw linked to a clevis. Applying pull to the clevis causes the jaw in turn to grip the strand.

The Type B Strand Puller (P/N 68490) is designed for tensioning figure-8 cable on 1/4 in. (6-7 mm) poly jacketed strand, and designed for pulling loads up to 5000 lbs. (2268 kgs)

• Serpentine grooves grip insulation on strand, preventing slippage.

• A safety chain permanently secured to a shackle acts as a safety tether in the event the grip disengages

The Model H Strand Puller (P/N 68491) is designed for tensioning strand sizes from 3/8 in. through 1/2 in. (9.5-12.7 mm) and for pulling loads that exceed 5000 lbs. but not more than 10,000 lbs. (4535 kgs)

• A safety chain permanently secured to a shackle acts as a safety tether in the event the grip disengages

The Model L Strand Puller (P/N 68492) is designed for tensioning strand sizes from 3/16 in. through 7/16 in. (4.7-11 mm) and for pulling loads up to 5000 lbs. (2268 kgs)

• A safety chain permanently secured to a shackle acts as a safety tether in the event the grip disengages


NOTE: The gripping power of a strand puller is greatly reduced if either the top or bottom groove of the jaw, or the strand itself, is coated with oil, grease, or paraffin.  Follow proper cleaning procedures to remove debris accumulation in the grip of the puller.

The Chicago Grip for bare wire (P/N 69494) maintains temporary tension until the wire or cable can be permanently terminated.

• Designed for use on aluminum, copper, weatherproof coated wire, PVC covered conductors and messenger and guy strand.

• Locking loop handles allow the jaws to be held in an open position for easy placement on wire or cable.

• Lightweight, especially economical grip.

• Designed for working with solid and stranded bare wire from .08" (2 mm) to .20" (5.1 mm).

• 1500 lbs. (680kg) Maximum Safe Load

• Single "V" 3 inch groove jaw

The Klein Haven’s® Grip is designed for use when light, compact grip is desired and where conductor damage is not a factor.
