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