RE: A Day With A Lineman #31 Broken Sunday Morning
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!
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
awesomekind of scary. Big nice sexy blue arc. Ooohhh yeeeaaahhhMaybe 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
