The Key Grip is the head of the grip department on set. S/He is in charge of instructing the crew in moving everything around the set, which includes the setting up of cutters, 4 by 4 solids, all the mechanical apparatus needed for shooting on set, dolly track, etc. The Key Grip is the boss over all the other grips.

What is the difference between a Grip and a Best Boy?

Best Boy�No, this is not the stars favorite trick working Santa Monica Boulevard. The Best Boy is the 2nd in command of Grip or Gaff teams. Kind of like answering a question with a question I suppose, since you're probably now wondering what the Grip and Gaff teams are-we'll get to that. Let it be noted that Best Boys are not always, in fact, boys. Key Grip�Not to be confused with Kung Fu Grip which is what makes GI Joe so badass. The Key Grip is the grand high pubah of the Grip team. Grips, in general are responsible for moving stuff around. If something needs to be picked-up (grabbed/gripped) and moved somewhere, it's a grip that does it. For instance, the Dolly Grip is the dude (more than one usually) responsible for pushing the camera dolly.
