Klein Tools 1647724 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cable sizes will the Klein Tools 1647724 distribution grip hold?
The 1647724 grip's EHS jaw takes cable from 0.162 inch up to 0.883 inch (4.11 to 22.42 mm), which is why it is called a wide range grip. That span covers most EHS strand, messenger, guy strand and aircraft cable a line crew handles, so one grip replaces several fixed-range ones. Measure the strand before pulling; anything outside that range should not be set in these jaws.
2) Can one lineman set this grip with one hand up in the bucket?
Yes. The 1647724 is a one-handed design, and an internal spring closes the jaws onto the cable to hold the initial position so you are not holding the grip shut while you take up slack. It is also 50 percent lighter than the KT4600 grip, which matters when you are working overhead for any length of time.
3) Can this grip be used on energized lines?
Only with precautions. Klein's instruction is that when the 1647724 is used on or near energized lines, the grip must be grounded, insulated or isolated before pulling. It has no hot latch, so it is not set up for hot-line stick handling. Inspect and clean the jaw area before each use to avoid slippage.
4) Will the hook on my hoist or chain tackle fit this Klein grip?
The handle on the 1647724 has an oversized opening meant to take a wide variety of hooks from hoists, winches and tackle blocks, so standard pulling hooks seat without an adapter shackle. The grip is 10.25 inches long overall, 8 inches high and 1.75 inches wide, so it works in reasonably tight bucket and crossarm positions.
5) Does the Klein 1647724 have a locking handle or a hot latch?
No. The 1647724 is built without a locking handle, without a hot latch and without a swing latch. It relies on the spring to hold the jaws on the strand and on tension to keep grip during the pull. If your crew's work practice requires a latching grip, this is not the model to specify.
6) Why does this grip hold EHS strand better than a smooth-jaw grip?
The jaws use an alternating sawtooth geometry for greater grip strength, and the bearing surface is 3.31 inches (8.4 cm) of jaw length spreading the load along the strand. The jaw profile is round, matched to stranded round cable such as EHS, messenger and guy strand rather than flat conductor.
7) What is the Klein 1647724 made of and how heavy is it?
Steel construction, made in the USA, at 1.36 lbs. The low weight is the point of this model, it is half the weight of the KT4600 grip while still rated to 5,000 lb safe load.
8) Is 1647724 the right part number to order for this Klein wide range grip?
Yes, the manufacturer part number is 1647724, sold as a single parallel jaw grip with the EHS wire jaw. There are no size or finish options to choose, one model covers the full 0.162 to 0.883 inch cable range.
