The grip-all clampstick is a very versatile tool. It has a sliding hand grip mechanism that opens the hook to grasp a clamp and retracts it into the tool head. A thumb latch must be pressed to release the locked hand grip so it can open the hook.
Intended for multiple applications, the equipment is primarily used for installing live line and grounding clamps, as well as live line protective cover-up and test instruments etc.
The use of the grip-all clampstick may be extended by fitting an adapter RM1867, or with a head attached to its bottom end (see pic. 1). Both solutions allow it to convert into a universal stick.
In order to purchase the universal head to be used with the stick, simply
add the “A” - suffix to its Catalog No., e.g.: Standard model - RC403-0295
Model with universal head - RC403-0295A
The rated working capacity (traction) is: 133 daN (293 lb) (for all models).
NOTE
Cleaning the plastic hook eye with solvent is not recommended.
The pole clamp (RE403-2543P) can be used with any hot stick, particularly those which are longer, requiring additional efforts to support it, especially when used in the horizontal position.
The pole clamp attachment is possible by fastening the two halves of the ring and tightening them with screws (such ring is provided with a central bed for its pole and control rod, not interfering on its operational mechanism).
In order to keep a rather than the safe insulating distance when working on energized systems, it is necessary to use a strain link stick of suitable insulating length, in line with the polypropylene rope.
STORAGE
Canvas bags for storage and transportation are supplied separately.
