Protect your safety and prolong the lifespan of your live line tools with proper maintenance, including regular inspections, recertification, and repairs as needed.

• Inspect the surface of the tool for contaminants such as dirt, creosote, grease, oil, gas/fuel, moisture, or any other foreign material. If contaminated, a quick rag wipe may be required to improve the integrity of the fiberglass.
• Visually inspect the tool for a smooth glossy surface. Check for deep cuts, scratches, nicks, gouges, or signs of bruising or crushing. Pay special attention to the tip or working section of the tool.

• Do not use if defects are found on the tool surface.
• The tool should be tagged, removed from service, and sent to LTL for repair.
• Broken strands of fiberglass allow water to wick within the fiberglass stick itself, which promotes dielectric failure or reduced insulating values.
• LTL recommends annual laboratory cleaning, inspection, waxing, and testing of fiberglass tools to ensure safety and ensure the integrity of the equipment.

LTL provides certified custom-configured ground set assembly and annual testing.

• LTL builds and inventories an assortment of distribution and station grounding assembly units.
• Grounding assembly clamps provide optimum support at the cable/ferrule connection when using a stress relief system.
• Tinned copper threaded ferrules ensure low resistance connections.
• Grounding cables are made with an extra strand of soft drawn #30 AWG (.01″) copper, and are available in three jackets – yellow, clear, and orange.
