Hot sticks.....

[JacksonburgFarmer]

Where might one purchase a hot stick??? I would like to have one. I guess I better say this first....

I do not intend to do illegal service changes, or other illegal work.

Most of our work is agricultural, and many farms have a "center pole" distribution system, CT's and various buildings fed w/ triplex from one pole. It would be nice to be able to axe off the juice when fixing/moving/repairing/doing all the general crap I do on a routine basis.....It would really be nice not to have to deal w/ hot overhead wires...so...
Where do I get one????

We also do A LOT of agricultural work with customer owned 4160 lines/equipment. Having a hot stick is a necessity.
