I’ve been training new linemen on the importance of having the right tools at their disposal. For instance, investing in high-quality rubber gloves can make a huge difference in safety. What tools have you found indispensable when starting out in the field?
It’s true, having quality rubber gloves is a game changer. I’d also throw in a good pair of safety glasses — nothing worse than getting zapped by something flying out of nowhere. What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen on the job that made you appreciate your gear more?
You really can’t underestimate the value of a good tool belt. A well-organized one keeps everything within reach and saves you time on the job. What specific tasks do you find yourself doing most often that could use better tools?
