LINEMAN SNAKE GRI PPER<br />
Purposes <strong>of</strong> the inventIon: This invention presents a unique and<br />
ingenious lineman pller with a snake gripper that will enable an<br />
electrician to pull or push a snake through enclosed raceways. It is<br />
designed to give leverage to the hand with the help <strong>of</strong> specially<br />
designed non-slip handles making the electrician's job easier,<br />
safer, and allowing the job to be done in less time. One <strong>of</strong> the<br />
greatest problems confronting electricians is pulling or pushing<br />
a snake through the degree bends <strong>of</strong> a raceway. The most com·<br />
manly used tool for thiS chore is the jaw <strong>of</strong> an electrician's pliers.<br />
The trouble with this tool is a lack <strong>of</strong> leverage, whereas the electrician<br />
must squeeze the handles with great pressure and the jaws<br />
still would slip sometimes causing injury to the hand and also con·<br />
suming time and energy. This mvention prevents both <strong>of</strong> these<br />
occurrences. The novel features <strong>of</strong> this invention are covered by a<br />
patent application now pending in the United States and Canada<br />

THIN WALL TUBING DEBURRING TOOL<br />
Purpose <strong>of</strong> the Invention: Thl~ debumng tool is constructed in a manner<br />
whereby both the inner and outer surfaces <strong>of</strong> a tubing section end may be<br />
deburred without reversi ng the tool relative to the workpiece. Further, the<br />
deburring tool is also constructed in a manner whereby the inner and outer<br />
surfaces <strong>of</strong> a tube section end may be simultaneously deburred, within a given<br />
working range <strong>of</strong> the tool. Finally, the cutting blades or stays <strong>of</strong> the tool are<br />
resi lient to the extent that they are flexed dUring operation and thereby compen·<br />
sate for slight errors during manual use <strong>of</strong> the tool to enable even and accurate<br />
deburring <strong>of</strong> both the inner and outer peripheries <strong>of</strong> a tubing section end. The<br />
tool may be used without reversmg the tool rela tive to the workpiece, be used<br />
rapidly and manually and simultaneously deburrs the inner and outer surfaces<br />
<strong>of</strong> the tubing end. The tool is patented and available to ISEW members for<br />
$6.00.<br />
