December 2, 2021 - Hickory, NC - Utility Solutions Inc patented BLUE STRIPE® Shotgun Sticks are now available with two distinct operating handle orientations to enhance ergonomics and embrace user preferences. The variations include a version with a side button (Standard) and the hook pivoting down, and a bottom break hook (BBH) version-- which aligns the button and hook in the same plane for those who prefer “button up, hook down” functionality.
The BLUE STRIPE® on all models provides a quick visual reference as to hook orientation, minimizing accidental drops-- commonly noted as Stripe Up, Hook DownTM.
Boasting a prouder button for ease of use with gloves and improved handling overall, the shotgun stick line is fully customizable. Options include internal/external rod ranging from 4-12 ft in length, and optional end fittings such as a universal spline end, rubber boot, socket adapter and quick connect options. The lower end fittings are CNC machined in-house, making repairs of the handle assembly easy. Each stick features a sturdy steel hanger and Heavy-Duty rod guides that can handle the rigors of live line work.
