Compact Shotgun Stick Offers Safety in Confined Places

Aug. 22, 2023
At 3 feet long, the original Shotgun Sticks features an external operating rod and weighs just 3.6 pounds.

Power line work requires nimble response times and the ability to work with tools on the fly. Made to be efficiently stowed and ready at a moment’s notice, Hastings’ Shotgun Sticks are designed with confined spaces and bucket trucks in mind.

At 3 feet long, the original Shotgun Sticks features an external operating rod and weighs just 3.6 pounds.

Additional fixed-length sizes with external operating logs are available, including lengths of 4.5, 6.5, 8.5, 10.5, 12.5, and 14.5 feet. Cases are available for all sizes excluding the 14.5-foot length.

Models with internal operating rods are available in fixed lengths of 4.5, 6.5, 8.5, 10.5, and 12.5 feet each.

Shotgun Sticks may be ordered with universal fittings on the base end as well as fluorescent hook and bottom break hook options.
