The tool chest

When I started working in 1972 the introduction of  a truck that could dig holes, set poles, hang transformers, and give a man a lift up to the work area had become commonplace.  You still need to have the ability to climb a pole and work in your hooks.  The top shelf on the right has rubber blankets,  line hose on the second shelf and fiberglass sticks on the third to deal with the high voltage.  On the door to the left is an assortment of drill bits for a power drill either run by 24 volts or 120 volts laying on the coiled yellow cords on the right.  A handline hangs next to a number of yellow nylon lifting slings.  Behind the rope and slings is an assortment of hoists, and rope blocks to help move conductors around on the pole.  In a bin next to this one is an assortment of grips for different sizes of conductor wires along with cutting tools and presses to make connections with other wires.  There are several more bins that carry mostly materials to build power lines that are overhead and undergound.
