Ya I just take a 10 sec or less video and run it through the gif maker. Works pretty good.
It’s called a hot-tap and the tool to put them on is a shotgun. Alright...that’s it...I’m goin got have to make a post about the most used stick in the Lineman trade....the Shotgun.
Anyway the hot taps have the jumper clamped into them and secure. There is an eye bolt type of deleo on the hot tap and that is where the shot gun stick attaches too. Then you open the hot tap slap it on the wire and spin the shotgun and tighten it down. Easy peasy. Lol.
If he was picking up load, and missed the wire it would have been awesome kind of scary. Big nice sexy blue arc. Ooohhh yeeeaaahhh
Maybe a little different lingo, I’m wit you now.. shotgun! Eye bolt, the only time I’ve used thise is for hanging grounds. You guys use shotguns on jumpers?! Is that normal?

Oh ya, it has to be the single most used hot-stick in the truck. 8 feet long and it has a million uses. Well lineman find a million uses for it anyway. Lol

I think people have a tendency to take it for granted that things just get fixed when the power goes out in shitty weather. This is certainly a good insight into what people do actually suffer through for the benefit of keeping everyone else's couch-ridden butts warm.
“Just turn the power back on!” Ya, like there is a light switch or something. Lol. Sometimes it does seem to most people like it is that easy but it is all the stuff we do before that that don’t see. All they see is ya closing the fuse for their transformer. Lol.
One lady went on blast of Facebook saying that the 3 outages in a week were effecting her quality of life. Really...and when was the last time you had an outage prior to that????? Can’t remember can you lady.
We wanted to stop at their house that night and make sure they had power, you know, that’s just how us lineman are. One thing people learn really quick...don’t mess with a lineman... they will always have the last laugh. Even if your not laughing.
It's like when you're in Hospital. You should always been nice to the nurses because they choose the size of the needles and the size of the catheter...
Exactly...Dah ha ha ha.
For some odd reason everyone else has power and .....you don’t. Gee let me fix that. It might take another 45 min to an hour. lol
How did you do those videos? That’s not dtube, right? Each of those were from your gif maker?
Eh, 7.2kV are you frikkin kidding me?! He isn’t even wearing a face shield! lOl.. “linemen.” Ya’all just ain’t right.
I’ve never seen a connection like that. Is that just a hot stick with a special connector? How does it work? A lot of of force? Great post Splatts!
