TEL-O-POLE II, the "no twist" stick. A unique triangular design by Hastings Fiberglass, the originators of telescoping hot sticks. All models are heavy duty designed.

• Triangle Shape - enables each section to lock in automatically. No more twisting and turning to lock sections
• High Visibility - fluorescent tip section is highly visible and has a foam core. All tip sections are 1.15" diameter. All sections are 100% tested per OSHA and ASTM F-711
• Extra Reach - new 40 ft. model available now
• Re-Designed Lock Buttons - new shape and larger size are easier to operate with and without gloves
• More Versatile - Use only the number of required sections to perform each job. Example: a 40 ft. tool can be reduced to a 20 ft. working height by depressing the lock button and and sliding the bottom sections off. This allows for a lightweight tool to perform the work easier
• Easy Disassembly - simply depress the lock button and slide section, or sections, out. No tools are required for disassembly
• Ergonomic Design - gives the operator a better gripping surface for better control
• Reduces Inventory - only one size lock button and spring for replacement needs
• Easy Maintenance - All sections have a smooth glossy surface for routine cleaning and waxing
• New Base Cap - cushions and protects base end
• Improved Universal Head - strong aluminum alloy head incorporates corona discharge design and includes a captive Belleville washer to hold universal attachments securely

THE HOT STICK YOU CAN PUSH, PULL, AND TWIST. SURE LOCK JOINTS WON’T SLIP OR COLLAPSE!
All sections are fabricated with reinforced high density electrical grade fiber glass laminate, with unusual color stability, for greater strength and high dielectric properties.
TUBULAR SECTIONS ARE ENGINEERED TO ALLOW FOR AIR CIRCULATION - CONDENSATE AND MOISTURE IS NOT TRAPPED WHEN STICK IS RETRACTED.
Universal head is adaptable to standard fit on accessories. Disconnect hook is standard equipment. Tip section is triply reinforced to eliminate breakage. All parts are standardized for easy field repairs. Stick can be disassembled for cleaning.
PATENTED INTERLOCK FEATURE
Stick may be locked in lengths listed by means of one pin locking two or more sections. To engage locking pin, extend section to its limit and turn for hole alignment.
UNICELLULAR FOAM FILLED TIP SECTIONS ELIMINATES TRAPPED MOISTURE
Top section on all Tel-0-Pole Hot Sticks is insulated with fire retardant polyurethane foam core. Foam is applied with an exclusive process to eliminate voids between foam and tool wall.
SURE-LOCK JOINTS
Developed and patented by HASTINGS FIBER GLASS, the originator of the Telescopic Hot Stick.
CORONA FREE DISCHARGE HEADS
Improved safety at EHV voltages - New designed head equally discharges current into the air. This provides greater safety when using Tel-0-Poles on EHV voltages.
