Chance Epoxiglas™ Grip-All Telescoping Shotgun Stick - 8'-7" to 14'-0" With Clampstick & Universal Head C4033061

The most versatile tool in a lineworker’s hands, the Grip-All stick puts an easy-to-control "finger" on an insulated pole. Although primarily designed for installing hot-line and grounding clamps, it serves both overhead and underground circuits with various end fittings. Commonly called a "shotgun," the operating mechanism incorporates a sliding hand grip that opens the hook to grasp a clamp eyescrew and retract it into the tool head. A thumb latch then must be depressed to release the locked hand grip so it can open the hook. While the tool head is of Lexan® for close-quarter operations, the worker must maintain recommended working distance solely on the Epoxiglas ™ pole section of the handle as the hook and its actuator are metal parts. Easy to care for, Grip-All sticks do not require field stripping to clean. All insulated parts including the operating rod are outside the main pole, readily accessible to wipe dry. CAUTION: Do not clean the plastic head with solvent.
