BUCK EZ SQUEEZE™ with Woven Inner Strap for Distribution

I don’t have much to complain about for this fall protection. The strap is made for distribution poles, but I have gotten it to fit around some fairly large sub-transmission poles. Smooth operation of both of the straps’ adjustment cams make it super comfortable to change work positions. Very confident in the squeeze it gives around the pole, I can even sit in it if I can’t feel my feet anymore. I have tried many other wood pole fall protections including the Cynch-Lok, Patriot and the rope adjusting Bucksqueeze. I find that ascending the pole takes some getting used to, but the strap around the front of the pole adds substantial stability especially when it is windy. The snap hooks are great, I prefer those over the roto-snaps when using rubber gloves. Which brings me to my only complaint, the roto-snap on the serrated D ring. It just isn’t large enough to gain the dexterity you need to work it while wearing rubber gloves, so you have to sit there and play with it a little bit sometimes. The rubber ring they add onto it is nice, until it slips off and you have to muscle it back on with your gloves off, of course. All in all, it is my favorite fall protection out there. I’ve had mine for over three years and it shows minimal wear. So long as you don’t drag it through the mud EVERY day and keep it properly adjusted, you’ll probably get 6 or 7 years out of it.
