if you have the right sticks you can do anything. And doing it everyday you get proficient. It takes a lot more teamwork sticking.
No doubt sticking is much safer than direct handling. 1967 was the year gloving came to our property and was phased in over a few years. Unfortunately we've suffered a few fatalities since 67. Only one involved gloving primary and the injured lineman removed his gloves to light a smoke......
employers today want more with less, they ain't gonna staff properly for the jobs. No,way I'll,ever see sticks return in my time........
