The Hastings 567-8 Universal Head Hot Stick is an 8-foot, 1.25" diameter live-line tool built for utility lineworkers who need universal tool compatibility and proven dielectric performance. Constructed from Hastings' proprietary Epoxiglas® and lightweight aluminum castings, the 567-8 features a spline attachment point that adapts with any universal tool head. Every stick leaves the Hastings factory having passed a dielectric test at 100KV per foot in accordance with ASTM, OSHA, and IEC standards.
Key Features
- Universal tool compatibility — spline attachment point adapts with any universal hot stick tool head
- Epoxiglas® construction — Hastings' proprietary fiberglass composite for superior dielectric strength and durability
- Lightweight aluminum castings — reduces overall tool weight without sacrificing structural integrity
- Heavy-duty end cap — molded nubs, ball shape, and thick walls cushion repeated impacts of normal use; black EVA material provides optimum abrasion and cut resistance
- Dielectric tested at 100KV/ft — every stick tested per ASTM, OSHA, and IEC industry standards before leaving the factory
