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 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 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 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 the strand puller is greatly reduced if either the grooves of the jaw or the strands are coated with oil, grease, or paraffin. For best results wipe both the strand at the point of attachment and the grooves of the puller jaws thoroughly with a cleaning solution.
