The sawtooth jaw is the differentiator here: galvanized coating on guy strand and EHS cable builds up in a smooth jaw over repeated use, and this profile is cut specifically to resist that.
Best for: line crews pulling or tensioning coated guy strand and EHS cable where a standard grip would clog with galvanizing buildup.
