Load Break Tools - How They Work
It is easy to take certain lineman tools for granted. But there was a time when safety and ergonomic concerns were luxuries.

Take the LOAD-RANGERŽ XLT Load Break Tool as an example. We improved upon a well established design already on the market by making a lighter, easier to use tool. A loadbreak tool like this offers linemen a safe way of opening cutouts and switches. Have you ever asked yourself how they work?


Our How It Works series of videos demonstrates some of the key internal workings of our load break line of tools in a quick and easy to understand format. Take a few minutes and see for yourself.

Second Generation BREAK-SAFEŽ Maintenance
The second generation BREAK-SAFEŽ Load Break & Pick-up Tool is more popular than ever two years after its debut. Now is the time to ensure those tools are being maintained properly.

One of the many advancements of the 2nd generation BREAK-SAFEŽ was extending the service interval to every two years. Since we released this version in May of 2014, now is the time for you to check the Maintenance Stickers to ensure each tool is current.
