Save Space and Time with Klein Grips from Altec Supply
Designed to save space and time, Klein’s new distribution and transmission grips are now available from Altec Supply.
The new Klein wide range distribution and transmission grips are made in the USA and feature a large opening in the handle to accommodate a wide variety of hooks on hoists, winches and tackle bolts. The grips also include Klein’s innovative one-handed design that allows for single hand operation.
Not only do these grips save time with their one-hand design, but they also save space on your truck. The Klein 16744 serves as a two-in-one product and can cover the need for separate 4500 and 4600 grips.
