Specs

Total length is 9.25". Plastic portion measures 6".
Benefits

  • Made of UV stabilized polycarbonate, which is less likely to break than polypropylene handles.
  • Internal compression springs instead of expansion springs (prone to stretching).
  • All metal parts are stainless steel--won't rust.
  • Larger hand grips for a safer hold.
  • Choice of 3 colors. Black is perhaps the most durable. White is most visible against grass. Amber is most visible against snow, dust, and dirt.
Installation

  1. Turn off the energizer.
  2. Attach SafeHandle to conductor by inserting it into the eyelet end of handle. Then, either tie a knot in the conductor or use a specific connector (sold separately) to attach conductor to handle.
  3. Place the hook end into activator (either a wood-post or steel-post activator, sold separately).
  4. Make the electrical connection to the activator with an insulated wire (sold separately).

Premier's MaxiShock 7 strand cable covered with pliable plastic insulation.
Because of its low tensile strength and thick zinc coating, wrapping it several turns around the conductor or stainless P spring provides an enduring connection capable of transferring the high volts and amperes of low impedance energizers.
By contrast, HT ins. wires, including our PIW34 wires, must be secured by a connector because their high tensile properties causes them to slightly untwist--allowing sparking and corrosion to develop over time.
