Welcome to the Ice Buster.
Your best friend in the fight against ice.
Every lineman knows ice is a major problem. It causes galloping and dangerous sags. Problems can arise with roadway clearance, tree clearance, and wind-blown contact with other wires on the pole.
That's why we created the Ice Buster. It is a high-quality, American-built tool that's designed to attach to the fiberglass hot stick you already carry on your truck, and it can be safely used from the ground without having to climb a pole or climb into a bucket. Just lift it to the wire and walk, letting it ride the line behind you. The Ice Buster turns and shears away the ice with just light to moderate effort on your part, depending on the size of the conductor and ice accumulation. In other words, it works while you walk.
And it's versatile. One tool fits all! The Ice Buster can deice just about any size conductor you'll ever encounter, up to and including .556ACSR.
Its cool blue, anodized finish is made to serve you reliably for years. Machined from high-quality aluminum, this is a tool you can trust.
