A Wire Grip Cable Puller is a tool that allows a user to latch on to a wire or cable to assist in creating tension on a wire rope. Tightening wire rope is used in many applications, including the implementation of wire rope or cable fencing. Use of wire grip cable puller allows for any slack to be removed quickly and easily, and creates a more structurally sound build than manually tightening.
While fast and easy are always desirable, a key reason for using wire grip cable puller is also safety. Using an alternate tool to tighten your wire rope creates a likelihood that the cable could slip or snap. Our wire grip cable puller features a flat metal lock to keep the wire in the grip.
In this video, we are using a 1-Ton (#1) Cable Grip attached to a 3-Ton 1/4″ Galvanized Come-Along or Cable Puller (aka Cable Puller). We are inserting 3/8″ used shot line cable inside the cable slot of the Cable Grip and then sliding the safety down to secure the cable in the grip. At that point we crank the come-along to take up the slack and pull tension onto the cable until it’s the desired stiffness. On the other end of the cable, we have looped cable around a post and used a 3/8″ Malleable Cable Clamp to secure the cable together to anchor to the post. Everything used in the video is sold by CBI Pipe & Supply.
In addition to the materials seen in the video, CBI Pipe & Supply sells various sizes and weights of both wire grip and wire rope. We have years of experience using these products in the field and can help you select the products, and provide you the advice to get the job done right.
