German term or phrase: Krallenklammer
Appears in a list of activities performed by electricians:

I can't find anything specific for this term. Does anyone know what might be meant?

Many thanks.

agree  Languageman: In the absence of further context this seems to be a fair enough guess, but I think it should definitely be spelt "claw clamp". Gets quite a few hits on Google that way. Ellen, your confidence level (4) doesn't really reflect that this is a guess.
