ZIP-GRIP™ Overhead, Underground, Vibratory Plows & DD Pull Back

Lewis ZIP-GRIP™, a new addition to X Series multipurpose pulling grips makes removing grip's tape fast and convenient without using a knife that could damage the cable.

Lewis ZIP-GRIP™'s design incorporates a ZIP CORD that is a fine steel wire that lies over the grips mesh and the bands. While taping the grip and the bands the zip cord stays beneath the tape. After the pull is done the user can pull the cord and just like a zipper the cord rips and opens the tape layer. The Zip-Grips™ feature coated galvanized cable, reverse weave, and a single wire bail.
