Nostalgia & History > ID these items for me will you please?Date: 11/07/12 15:41 ID these items for me will you please? Author: upkpfan I'm donating these items to our museum and would like to know just what the tool is called and used for.
#1 & 2 is a linemans tool. I think you hook it onto the wires as you work on them to keep from getting shocked. #3 is two sticks, about 4 & 5' long handles. What are they used for and the name.
