Welcome to the Ice Buster.
Your best friend in the fight against ice.
The secret is in its simplicity. Most who see it for the first time wonder how it works at all. But then, they watch it in action. And finally they try it for themselves and it all makes sense. So, we think the best reason to buy the Ice Buster is the fact that it just works. But that's not all.
For Linemen
The Ice Buster has been designed with you in mind because it was invented by one of you: a fellow lineman. Someone who understands the demands of the job and what it takes to go home safely every night. You can count on the Ice Buster to:
- Stop galloping outages before they even start.
- Eliminate roadway and tree clearance problems that can cause accidents, fires, and needless losses of life.
- Prevent arcing to other utility lines and related hardware failures.
- Lower your risk of injury by saving you from climbing poles or using lifts to remove ice by hand.
- Reclaim a uniform sag when repairing a downed wire, in a given span, or multiple spans.
- Reduce wasted time by eliminating "dead-head" walking. You don't need to constantly set up your equipment to remove ice because the Ice Buster does it for you, all as you're safely on the ground. It's also safe to use from your bucket when conditions dictate.
- Keep you sharp and alert in extreme conditions by sending inefficient, physically demanding methods of removing ice to the trash heap of history. Also reduces premature wear-and-tear on Extendo sticks.
- Be useful in private right-of-way situations.
- Help you work more efficiently when every step you take is shearing off the ice for you.
For Supervisors
Every minute of suspended service takes its toll. You've spent enough years in your position to learn firsthand how costly ice can be to you, your business, and your employees. In this economy, every penny and every second counts. The Ice Buster is good for your bottom line when ice attacks, and it's good for your linemen, too. When it's time to order new tools, choose the Ice Buster to:
- Accelerate restoration of service by reducing or even preventing outages.
- Make sure you're prepared whenever winter storms, windy weather, and thawing conditions are headed your way.
- Set your linemen up for success in the most challenging conditions when they need it the most.
- Save money when major damages caused by ice are no longer a concern.
- Keep customers happy with fewer, shorter disruptions of service, especially when they're relying on electricity for warmth and safety.
- Ease the burden on your entire workforce, helping them get more done faster.
We know your budget is limited, so buy with confidence. The Ice Buster is made in America with utmost attention to detail. Made from high-quality aluminum with a protective anodized finish, it's designed to last for years. It's small enough to fit on utility trucks without getting in the way. It requires very low maintenance and easily attaches and detaches from the Extendo sticks (also known as “hot sticks”) your linemen already carry. And with an attractive ice blue metallic finish, it looks great, too.
Choose the Ice Buster, and your company, customers, and linemen will thank you!
