Longstick and a bad cutout

I tried the first 2 times to get it in, then Scotty tried to get it to go. We ended up changing the cutout, but some decent arcing going on. Too bad it wasn't at night.

this guy is terrible with that stick. couldnt imagine him trying to hot stick a 23 or 69 line. and there is no fault on this cutout. hes just really bad. if there was a fault that fuse would blow depending on the sizeT of the fuse. some

@bd2380 Longstick and a BAD CUTOUT.......Who said there was a FAULT????? The cutout was BAD so we changed it and threw it in. It held because there was NO FAULT.

Those sticks are crap esp for high winds - imagine doing that in 80mph winds and driving rain alone on a dark night after walking 30 minutes into a field to reach the fuses. However they are the only ones that collapse small enough to be carried in the crap cars the electricity board here provides its engineers.

Holy third world country. Was that like the second cutout ever invented?

What we can't see in the video is that he did this balancing the longstick on his nose. Now THAT'S a lineman!

That's an old cut out I guess I've got a sturdy arm cause even while I was a grunt I still slammed it in with ease
