A Lineman's job is not only difficult but dangerous as well. Electrical work is always risky. Repairing, installation, and maintenance of electrical lines is not an easy fear and requires a lot of effort and attention. A lineman needs to constantly remain cautious on his job as accidents can happen and result in bad consequences which can sometimes be life threatening and therefore it is very important to have the right kind of tools available with him at all times.
Some tools that a lineman uses frequently are impact sockets, wrenches, hammers, bucket
knuckle, cable cutters, ratcheting cutter, socket locker, socket
holder, etc. to name a few. These are used for different purposes. Here
we will discuss two important tools that a
lineman uses. These are discussed below:
● Socket organizer or holder: A socket holder is a holder that is used to keep all the sockets of
different sizes that are used. They can be arranged or organized as per their
size so that they are all available in one place and they are easily
accessible.
These are manufactured in the US
itself. The best part about this is that it contains a removable magnet which
is useful when you want to clean it. It also has the ability to mount it using
a safety hook. You can also use a hook to hang the impact driver here as well.
This is a very handy piece with a unique design for removing the sockets for
use and replacing it in their place easily at all times.
● Deep well socket set: Another important tool that is very
useful for a lineman is a deep
well socket set that is very handy along with the other tools that a
lineman carries to his job.
The sockets are extremely important
for a lineman to get his job done. The socket set is a set of impact sockets
that come in different sizes and are made of chrome vanadium. These are used
to remove or replace nuts and bolts of different sizes. These are generally
used to reach difficult places that are deep-set, hence the name implies
perfectly this tool. These sometimes come in color coordination to identify
the different sizes.
A deep well socket set is best for use with long threaded
bolts. These are usually made for reach, and not for having the nut go deep
inside it. The modern designs have a stronger socket as the points are now made
shallower. It gives the user the flexibility to easily tackle various nuts and
bolts, fasteners, or spark plug bodies.
They generally come in a set of 12
with different sizes. They primarily aim at fitting a wide range of sizes of
nuts and bolts.
