Klein Tools 1656-40 Chicago® Grip — For Bare Wire, 0.5–0.7 in. Diameter (336 Grip)

The Klein Tools 1656-40 Chicago® Grip is a heavy-duty pulling grip engineered for stringing and pulling large bare wire conductors with diameters between 0.5 and 0.7 inches in overhead utility applications. Known as the 336 Grip, this model is purpose-built for the larger conductor sizes commonly used in distribution and transmission line construction and reconductoring. The Chicago® Grip’s self-tightening jaw design grips the conductor more securely as pulling tension increases, providing a reliable, slip-resistant hold during demanding stringing operations. Built to Klein Tools’ professional utility standards for field durability and performance.
