Description
The Klein 1685-31 Parallel Jaw Grip (4-1/2") is a professional-grade wire pulling grip engineered for secure handling of a wide range of cable sizes and types.

Key Benefits
- Parallel jaw design provides uniform gripping force across cable surfaces
- Round inside-jaw contour reduces conductor damage while improving contact
- Hot latch design helps prevent accidental drops if jaws disengage
