rubber glovin 7200

[brandonharrell89]

God bless you brother. That's how true A class roles...no sleeves and no FR shirt and fall harness haha.

[motocross19916]

god bless americans who want to work.

[sheriffgolden]

Looks like your first day with that amp connector ya green horn! Where the fuck are your sleeves!

[G8GT364CI]

It takes guts to do a job like that.

[lokeycmos]

its scary being that close to live lines even with gloves

[bjboren]

I'm a non union contractor worker and i'm proud of the hard work we do everyday

[B1r6m4n]

So if there was a hole in those gloves, would you be electrocuted?

[bjboren]

@B1r6m4n def yes your dead

[B1r6m4n]

@bjboren Wow - gotta respect these guys! So the bucket isn't insulated?

[bjboren]

@B1r6m4n it is but it wont save you

[bjboren]

@B1r6m4n the bucket is insulated, the knuckle of the boom is all metal, but that has nothing to do with a pinhole in your glove, Ive got two people in my crew right now who have both been hit by energized lines, one in a bucket, 7200 volt split his right hand on the entry went across his body and out the back side of the top of his elbow. The other was getting stuff off the truck his lineman was in the bucket the knuckle of the boom caught in the primary while his knee was touching the truck

[strawske]

here in PA (local 126 ibew) they dont let us leave the ground or cradle without our FR and sleeves on..

[strawske]

where is your FR and sleeves haha 

[linemanup]

@strawske My same thought!



[punkid41]

@strawske exactly what i was thinkin.

[payneisanogle]

i am an IBEW certified journeyman lineman....Queer. u do ur deal half way up the pole u phone fag and ill do my deal deal at the top shut ur fucking face and in no way shape or form was my buddy or i in danger because we understand electricity and how the hell it works...... peace....let me guess u voted for same sex marriage..

[AquariumNerd1]

@payneisanogle This is probably the most risky form of line work. This guy does not have a conductive suit on or wrist strap attached to his lower leg ect, So if he slips and his flesh contacts the conductor he is dead basically.

[xeronicus]

@payneisanogle

What kinda gloves are those(brand), Me and my dad have some but they are old, like 1980's old(can barely move in them). Yours look a hell of alot more flexible than ours.

[bwy0874]

My favorite part was when you almost let you buddy get zapped because you were too busy making a vid to hold the crimp for him, you're a real pro. Us union guys could learn a lot from you clowns.

[bwy0874]

I am speechless after watching that. Listen to me, if you continue doing hotwork with all those bad habits you will die in the line of duty. You are not a skilled lineman. All your macho bullshit will get you killed. If anyone is considering going into this line of work please go through an IBEW apprenticeship so you learn the craft.

[payneisanogle]

scab..... queer..... cockholster....cum dumpster.....quit eatin mac and cheese off of food stamps and get a real job where u actually use ur hooks instead of just callin a scab to do all the knarly work that ur litttle union/utility scared fraid of the dark ass, book smart ass doesnt wanna get ouuta the bucket shoot yourself in the face.  really scab???? u cant sleep well at night

[TheMike0825]

you can tell he a scab

[llwoolly]

where your sleeves at man...?

[WIDESIDE72]

I am curious... which conductor is hot, the one with the crimp, or the other one he bends and almost touches with his uninsulated elbow? I hope it was the one with the crimp...

[dieselpower2120]

u must work for a non union company... 1. no bucket harness 2. no FR shirt or long sleeves for that matter, you'll wish u were wearin long sleeves if u ever have an arc 3. no sleeves, yes i do realize some places dont require them when gloving certain voltages 4. all the union bashing on here... we climb poles just as much as if not more than rats, we do all the jobs the utility doesnt want. and next time. put the squeeze on the jumper and then put it to the line, so ya dont go in series! IBEW!

[payneisanogle]

the only people that get excited bout this video are either democrats, union, utility, or batting for the wrong team.....

[AquariumNerd1]

@payneisanogle

[AquariumNerd1]

@payneisanogle and geeks like me.

[payneisanogle]

thanks for the tape advice.. normally i would but we were just effin around, and island..... were not dead cause we work for a contractor and understand electricity in the field.... not just on paper.

[xxqhostxx]

next time wrap some tape at the bottom of the connecter that will keep it from sliding

[xxqhostxx]

7200 haha thats funny

[IslandLifePete]

Erm ok so why r u both not dead after doing that ?

[mike46839482]

man, i really don't know why people are talking shit right now! I am dreaming of the day I finally climb that pole and break my back/risk my life for a living! Keep doing what you do man! 

[drwe57]

wouldnt that require sleeves as well

[captain256]

you must work for pike

[joeltheasshole]

@captain256

haha.

[payneisanogle]

without worring how many cal/cm my dang shirt is...... pansies....how do ya'll sleep at night!!! i'm sure dang good cause you might as well have office jobs if you can even call em jobs. i'm AMERICAN and I WORK for a living.....Work involves SWEAT!!!

[thumper49802]

@payneisanogle fucking a man, you tell em. It aint easy when you get that fucking call at 3:30 in the morning to go fucking work an outage.

[payneisanogle]

Contractor/LINEMAN/somebody who isn't soaking society for a wage like the government. climb 14 poles in a row, change arms, insulators, and work a 3 pot double dead-end before daylight....we'd be happy too

[payneisanogle]

i can explain the difference between a ulility/union outfit real simply. utility/ union...damn that's a long way up...you want me to climb that? ahhhhh. it's dark and i can't see the top.

[payneisanogle]

no joke, carpet spark is right. it's 7200...easy. you union effers crack me up. on your breaks you have all the time in the world to "comment" bout the boys actually doin the work..... go on strike or stik somethin or just shutup and quit breathin. ha. amazin!!! do u guys know what hooks are or are all of ya "bucket truck, so many cal/cm, my knees hurt , it's after 3:30, pretty much phone fags.

[240SSONLY]

you fakers are funny as hell

[lwhite79]

ComEd would likely fire you if this was done here.

Be safe man

[stephenbarron725]

there should now be looking for a new job, they probaably thought they were cool, not there just unemployed

[Gsnickets]

@stephenbarron725 with your horrible understanding of the english language, I'd be very surprised if you are actually employed.

[highvoltagefeathers]

good god calm down, thats like a carpet spark...

[independentjim]

Thats just plain workin stupid.... the title of the video should be what not to do..

[atheist2688]

No FR or harness?!?! What kind of scam you work for?

[Hogums]

That was too close!  Your arm almost got tagged there! Cool vid on windy day! Stay safe.

[sweetpete84]

PUT YOUR SLEEVES ON MANG!

[johnmason2354]

No sleeves or face shield? I woiuld rather have it melt to me than have that 7KV arc though me.

Damn...

[cablejac]

that clip there would get you fired in CT

[fuhQ6969]

Why people choose to work in other states.

[LineApe611]

Ampacs are way easier to use making up jumpers than them damn squeeze ons

[hollywood11706]

Im so glad im outta a stick local.......This shit is insane.....

[boneyloc]

short sleave shirt....how the fuc u get away with that?

[crozzy98]

some utility companies including mine, dont require sleeves for 7,200 - 24,000.

[ekiumy]

its all good until your shirt melts on you

[RhinoVirus21]

[warner1959]
