[TowerTalk] Cable Grips

[Phil Camera]

Kellum grips are a type of cable grip used my electricians and linemen.  They at attached to the end of large diameter cables as an aid in pulling these through conduits or stringing up wires to towers or poles.  Most are installed on the end of a cable and terminate in a pulling eye to which you attach your lifting rope.  The grip part, using the Chinese finger torture technique, securly grips along a length of the cable being pulled and distributes the forces so to not damage the cable jacket or the internals. You get these at all industrial electrical supply houses (not sure about HD, etc.) or many on-line sources.
