Re: New Safety Tool for pole climbing


> How would this work with one or even multi riser's on the pole,exposed telephone line that has no riser guard would be prone to damage from the pressure telephone terminal boxes that have drop line coming from them with drop running down the pole could possible get pinched and go out of service,I think I'll stick to using my hand's as balance on the pole.

In three and a half years of climbing, to date there has

Thank You for your input.
P.S. At the time of this reply, A major cable contracting
company has expressed interest in the tool for fall
prevention. 1000+ Employees.
