It is used in angle anchor structures as insulation between blocks and wire grips. Large-span conductor loads and “H” structures sometimes exceed the safe capacities for the wire tong. To supplement the wire tong, attach the strain link stick to the conductor. This stick is also used to support the center conductor in “H” type structures when changing insulators or crossarms.

Constructed with RITZGLAS® insulating tube and aluminum alloy fittings, for better mechanical strength and lightness ratio, the swivel eye has bearings for smooth and perfect rotation. The jaw edges of this tool are rounded to prevent damage to conductors.

To meet a higher demand for tasks that require loads or varieties of wire size, this tool is built in four head sizes and variations in pipe lengths.
