Hastings Fiber Glass Products has released a new Reciprocating Insulated Saw Extension (R.I.S.E.) designed to give lineworkers added reach, control and pruning versatility in the field.

Available as product 4006, the R.I.S.E. features a 6-foot insulated extension designed for use with a Milwaukee Hackzall (part 2719-20). The 4006 measures 81 inches overall and weighs 9 pounds.

Built with lineworkers in mind, the R.I.S.E. is designed to cut wood, aluminum and steel when using the appropriate blade. It can achieve approximately 120 cuts on 1-inch-diameter branches when used with a Milwaukee Hackzall and new 5-Ah battery.

Inner and outer poles can be disassembled for easy cleaning and testing. The fiberglass is rated at 100 kV per foot to meet ASTM F711. www.hfgp.com/reciprocating-insulated-saw-extension
