Back when Linemen were Linemen and hiked poles. We were suppose to check the pole you were about to climb with your screwdriver at the base, checking for soft wood, give it a smack with your heavy hammer and listen for a hollow sound and check for shell rot. Not many guys did all that every time but the more you climbed the better you got at knowing how a pole should feel and sound. The outfit I worked for hired out a company I think it was called Osmose or something like that and they went around feeder by feeder checking poles. That is still a cool tool Bren. . .it would be better if Org could play a few rifts on it tho

As usual T man is correct .. We still hammer test when climbing these poles ..this is purely a way of checking the poles at ground level ( in concrete ). The ones in fields are still tested with a screwdriver etc ..
ALSO my partners relation ( cousin from ROLLA Missouri ) works for Osmose ..HES A FULL TIME PATROLLER ex marine.. Nice guy. Came to ireland last year and enjoyed his company.. And I can't play any musical instruments " unfortunately "
