Nonsparking Long-Nose Pliers
Made of materials that are FM approved, these nonmagnetic pliers satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. Also known as needle-nose and chain-nose pliers, use the long jaws to grip, bend, twist, and cut wire.
Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.

Nonsparking Wire Gripping and Cutting Pliers
Made of aluminum-bronze that is FM approved, these nonmagnetic pliers satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. Also known as lineman’s and combination pliers, use them to pull, bend, and cut wire. They have plastic grips for comfort.
Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.

Nonsparking Slip-Joint Pliers
Made of aluminum-bronze that is FM approved, these nonmagnetic pliers satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. Adjust the pivot point to switch between two different jaw opening sizes. The jaws have a flat area for general purpose gripping and a curved area for round material. Plastic grips provide comfort.
Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.
Nonsparking Adjustable Pliers
Made of aluminum-bronze that is FM approved, these nonmagnetic pliers satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. They provide the gripping power of a pipe wrench with the adjustability of pliers. Slide the pivot point of the jaws to a range of positions.
Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.
Double-Taper Nonsparking Hole-Alignment Pins
When one side of these pins wears out, use the other one. Made from aluminum-bronze that is Factory Mutual approved, these nonmagnetic, corrosion-resistant pins inhibit sparking. They satisfy OSHA requirements for nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. Nonsparking tools are not, however, classified as antistatic because they do conduct electricity. Use alignment pins to align structural components such as I-beams and angle irons for bolting, riveting, and welding.
Note: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.

Single-Loop Cable Support Grips
Also known as bus drop grips, these grips support cable weight and relieve tension. They also damp vibration in hanging runs of cable, rod, and tubing. You can support these grips with a hook.
Safety spring (sold separately) alleviates strain from sudden pulls, but it reduces the work load limit of the grip.

Double-Loop Cable Support Grips
These grips have two loops for support at two points, often at an angle. They must be equally supported to balance the load. Also known as bus drop grips, these grips support cable weight and relieve tension. They also damp vibration in hanging runs of cable, rod, and tubing.

Grounding Rod Clamps
Connect bare-copper ground wire to grounding rods.
Dual nut clamps give you more flexibility than single nut clamps.
U-bolt clamps are the most adjustable and work with rods ranging in size from 3/8" to 1".
Two-piece design clamps are easier to install onto bends and continuous loops than other single- and dual-nut clamps.
For clamps with lay-in wire, there’s no need to thread wire through them. Simply lay the wire into the clamp’s opening and fasten.
UL 467 clamps meet a standard for direct burial.
