Thanks Zog!!
It is simply a bolt that has a small trailer hitch on it, it replaces the normal bolt in the bus. They usually have a rubber boot over them with a hole in it so you can remove the boot with your shotgun. When you need to ground the gear you remove the boot, put your grounds on and tighten them down all using a shotgun.
I've seen a .22 cal used in construction, but what is a "shotgun"?:huh:
An insulated hot stick with a slide action lever that moves a hook open, closed, or withdrawn on the end to allow for grabbing, holding, and tightening protective grounds. A must have tool for any HV worker. When you change positions it looks and sounds like a pump action shotgun, hence the name.
