Klein Tools 16477 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes will the Klein 16477 distribution grip pull?
The 16477 wide range grip covers No. 6 copper up to No. 477 ACSR, which works out to a cable diameter range of 0.162 to 0.883 inches (4.11 to 22.42 mm). It handles bare copper, aluminum, and ACSR. One grip covers that whole span, so a line crew is not swapping between several narrow-range grips on a distribution pull.
2) Does the Klein 16477 have a hot latch or a locking handle?
No on both counts. The 16477 has no hot latch, no swing latch, and no locking handle. What it does have is a spring that closes the jaws on the cable and holds the initial bite, plus a one-handed actuation design, so a lineman can set it with one hand while the other stays on the stick or the structure. If your work rule calls for a latching grip, this is not the one.
3) Is the 16477 grip safe to use on energized lines?
Klein's instruction is that when the grip is used on or near energized lines, it must be grounded, insulated, or isolated before pulling. The 16477 is a steel grip, so it is conductive and offers no dielectric protection on its own. Treat the grounding step as mandatory, not optional.
4) Will the 16477 grip take the hook on my hoist or chain tackle?
The handle opening on the 16477 is sized large to accept a wide variety of hooks from hoists, winches, and tackle blocks. Overall the grip measures 10 x 6.5 x 1.25 inches, so there is real room in the bail rather than a tight eye that only fits a shackle.
5) How heavy is the Klein 16477, and how does it compare to the KT4500?
It weighs 2.9 lb, which Klein states is 20 percent lighter than the Cat. No. KT4500 grip. On a bucket or a pole that difference matters over a day of pulls, and it is the main reason a crew already carrying KT4500s would move to the 16477.
6) What kind of jaws does the Klein 16477 use, and will they mar the conductor?
It is a parallel jaw grip with round jaws measuring 3.31 inches (8.4 cm) long. Round jaws spread the bite around the conductor rather than pinching a flat, which is why this style is used on bare copper, aluminum, and ACSR. Klein calls for cleaning the jaw area and inspecting the grip before each use, since debris in the jaws is the usual cause of slippage.
