[@Rthomas176]

You make what you do because of the lineman that came before you; this should never be forgotten

[@obicancovjek7223]

How much mechanical strength must insulators have when used as laterals? I've seen suspension, support and tension ones, but I've only seen side ones on railways. Why aren't steel or concrete poles used for such a high voltage?

[@Zeamus634]

Are those P-clips acting like spring washers?

[@kalebeasterwood6173]

You have a link for the green nut and washer keeper on your tool belt?

[@naetnate]

No, It's for the leashes but its useful in that sense

[@rustagaz]

Just look up buckingham handline carrier. There are other brands too. They're made of plastic so if a passing vehicle catches your handline it snaps off instead of breaking your hips as it tears your belt in half. Really handy for holding hardware too though

We did this without pinstripe pants; and without fall restraints

KEEP ME A CHAIN HOIST LIKE DENNIS

[@linehandibew6205]

Next time hang the hook from top insulator and the business end down to the phase you’re lifting so you dont have to climb up and down to operate the hoist

[@alexabajian]

It's a great idea that we had also but the instructors had us do it their way

[@naetnate]

great suggestion, was just following instructor protocol at the time

[@linehandibew6205]

@@naetnate no bashing on you at all. Just giving suggestions. Try to be as efficient as you can with your moves.

[@romiedahomie3259]

The instructors had them do it that way to get them used to moving up and down while working..

[@Lineman12.4]

Still doesn’t know how to stock the cooler with water or sweep the floors.

[@tategoldbeck9810]

bro cmon should take no more than 10 mins

[@bernardberben4852]

First of all. Nobody asked. Second of all, rushing is the number one way to get killed. Better to do a job slowly, with quality, than it is to do it rushed, and sloppy.

[@naetnate]

na facts, i had accidentally deleted my 11 min take so this just a redo

[@ethanthompson2576]

In school yes I guess, as we are rushed and told speed is key for success. If you were to say this in the field, your foreman and fellow lineman would beat the fuck out of you. In the field we don’t give a shit about speed. That’s how you die or get fucked up
