UNIVERSAL TOOLS
The universal tool series in this section has been carefully selected for interventions in energized installations using the universal insulating pole.
These tools are equipped with “toothed” universal heads for their perfect coupling with a universal pole, for hot-stick operations with absolute precision.
Each universal tool has its own properties and its main purpose is to replace manual operation, even if the work angles or positions are unfavorable.
