We’re on a mission to gather photos from all 50 states throughout 2026. We want to show how the trade stays the same, even when the job site or the dirt under your boots changes.
These are a few that came in this month. If you’ve got a photo from your crew, send it in and we’ll send you a state lineman sticker as a thank-you. |

Notes From Our Team
Unfortunately, we see a lot of injuries come from trying to muscle through insulation with a knife, especially in cold weather. Gloves get stiff, grip can get less predictable, and it’s easy to go too far. Tools like this take some of that risk out of the equation. |

"On big pulling jobs, it's typically the small tools that can get overlooked. Get those ordered at the same time as your pulling equipment so you're not scrambling or expediting small items once the job's already started." |
