On deadened structures and running corners, a strain link stick is used as insulation between rope blocks and a come-along clamp.

Conductor loads on long spans and H-frame structures are sometimes too high that they could effectively be handled with wire tongs only. To supplement the wire tongs, a strain link stick is attached to the conductor close to the wire tong. Strain link sticks are also used to support the middle conductor on H-frame structures, during insulator or crossarm changes.

Hooks and ferrules are made of heat-treated aluminum alloy, for the best strength to weight ratio. Butt-swivels - for attaching rope blocks or hand lines - are forged of high quality steel and rotate freely on ball thrust bearing.

The edges of the jaws of Terex Link Sticks are rounded to prevent scarring of conductors.

In view of the growing range of works requiring numerous loads or diversity of conductor sizes, link sticks are available in four sizes of heads and several different lengths of poles.
