Look closely at the handle and you'll see it's rated for 75,000 Volts. It's a piece of a hot-stick, used for manipulating live electrical wires. Not an emergency hot-stick, as this one is designed to clamp and stay on the wire for a while, maybe even pole-to-pull hence the roller. The handle, of course, would be a lot longer unless this one was cut for working close-quarters from a bucket...maybe not recommended practice but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Pipe, rod, metal bender?
