Unlike aluminum ladders, these models are fully nonconductive, significantly reducing electrocution risk for lineworkers and electricians working near energized lines. Compared to fiberglass, Kevlar is lighter, stronger, and far more resistant to cracking and UV degradation, extending service life while reducing replacement costs. Widely trusted in applications ranging from ballistic protection to aerospace, Kevlar brings the same proven strength-to-weight advantage to utility safety. These ladders collapse for compact transport, deploy in seconds and are OSHA compliant, tested to ANSI A14.5 and EN131 standards. For safety managers and fleet supervisors, Kevlar telescoping ladders offer a next-generation alternative to aluminum and fiberglass, combining uncompromising crew protection with durability and portability in the field. https://telestepsladders.com

Milwaukee Tool’s M18 FUEL Covered Conductor Cable Stripper with Adjustable Bushings is the industry’s first cordless tool optimized for end-stripping insulation on aerial, 600-volt secondary and medium-voltage cables, offering an unmatched cable-stripping experience. Designed for ultimate versatility, the six adjustable bushings accommodate cable diameters from 0.5 to 2.1 inches, eliminating the need for excess accessories while ensuring a clean, precise strip every time. Powered by M18 FUEL, this cordless stripper removes covered conductors at 1 inch per second, up to four times faster than manual tools, boosting efficiency and productivity. With no exposed blades, this solution significantly reduces the risk of cuts and lacerations, providing a safer way to strip the covered conductor. AUTOSTOP kickback control prevents over-rotation in a bind-up, while user-controlled speed and optimized max RPMs provide precise control during operation. Equipped with an adjustable 6-inch depth gauge for precise strip lengths, the tool eliminates over- and under-stripping and can be removed for extended-length applications as needed. Delivering optimized ergonomics, the tool’s pistol-grip design ensures easy maneuverability in tight spaces. The POWERSTATE Brushless Motor delivers more power to handle tough materials in any environment; REDLINK PLUS Intelligence ensures peak performance while protecting against overload; and ONE-KEY delivers easy tracking and tool management. www.milwaukeetool.com/products/2937-21
