The Hastings 6-Foot Internal-Rod Shotgun Stick with Universal Head (Model 8206-U) is a fixed-length hot stick designed for safe and efficient handling of energized equipment. Constructed from high-quality electrical-grade fiberglass, it features an engineered weave that provides superior strength in both deflection and torque while maintaining a lightweight profile. The internal rod mechanism allows precise control of the hook, which is shielded and requires deliberate action to release, enhancing safety during live-line operations. The molded polycarbonate head is non-conductive, impact-resistant, and unaffected by temperature extremes, making it suitable for year-round field use.

This shotgun stick includes a 5-inch deep throat and extended spear for improved control and visibility when working with hot taps, including longer stem designs. The melron polycarbonate handle body adds durability and insulation, while the precision cast slide with 13 teeth per inch ensures a secure grip and accurate operation. With an overall length of 6 feet 6 inches and weighing 4.9 lbs, this tool is ideal for linemen performing live-line maintenance, equipment installation, and troubleshooting on overhead systems.
