Hastings Introduces R.I.S.E. Insulated Saw Extension for Lineworkers
Hastings Fiber Glass Products released a new Reciprocating Insulated Saw Extension, known as R.I.S.E., designed to give lineworkers added reach, control and pruning versatility in the field.
Available as product 4006, the R.I.S.E. features a 6-ft insulated extension designed for use with a Milwaukee Hackzall (part 2719-20). The 4006 measures 81 in. overall and weighs 9 lbs.
Built with lineworkers in mind, the R.I.S.E. is designed to cut wood, aluminum and steel when using the appropriate blade. It can achieve about 120 cuts on 1-inch diameter branches when used with a Milwaukee Hackzall and new 5aH battery.
The inner and outer poles can be disassembled for easy cleaning and testing. The fiberglass is rated at 100 kV per foot to meet ASTM standard F711, reinforcing Hastings’ commitment to building products that support safety, performance and reliability in demanding utility applications.
“We’re always looking for ways to support lineworkers with tools that make difficult jobs safer and more efficient,” said Brian Baum, vice president of Hastings. “The new insulated R.I.S.E. Reciprocating Insulated Saw Extension gives crews another practical solution they can depend on in the field.”
Based in Hastings, Michigan, Hastings is a family-owned business that manufactures and supplies hot line tools and equipment to lineworkers worldwide. The company’s selection of hot sticks, attachments and other safety devices is designed with safety in mind.
