Wire Tong - 2.5 in x 10 ft
Brand: CHANCE Lineman Grade Tools
Catalog ID: H464710
Wire Tongs have many applications for moving and holding live conductors clear of the working area, for flat crossarm and/or ridge pin-construction, on horizontal post insulator structures, all types of suspension insulator lines, as auxiliary arm braces, and in EHV construction for brace pole or ladder positioning guides. A whole family of clamps, attachments, saddles and lever lifts allow the wire tongs to be adaptedspecifically to the mechanical requirements of various maintenance jobs. Wire Tongs are made withEpoxiglas® poles. The castings are made of heat treated aluminum alloy, separated by bronze wear rings. The wide range jaws on the head can be clamped tightly on the conductor by turning the stick from a position beyond the minimum working clearances.
