Best runner up: Klein Tools Wire Puller Grip

Buy on Amazon

The grip is a must have accessory for your daily usage. The THis piece of gear is absolutely essential for installation of longer ziplines. It is used to "bird-nest" like a spincast reel. It is great for tightening guy wires for antenna towers. The slightly serrated round shaped jaws grab rope and bare messenger strand firmly without damaging them and will hold fast as long as you keep light tension on them.

This tool is irreplaceable and practically indestructible. The Locking mechanism takes little time and gives confidence when hanging strand over traffic. It is a nice heavy duty tool that really does a good job.
