DISCONNECT and SWITCH STICKS

Tallman Equipment’s range of switch sticks and disconnect tools gives crews safe, sure‑handed control when opening or closing live circuits. 

If you’ve ever asked, what is a switch stick?— it’s a fiberglass, insulated pole that lets an operator stay at a safe distance while operating overhead switches or cut‑outs. Each model in our catalogue, from a compact switching stick for daily work to a heavy‑duty hookstick disconnect switch, meets or exceeds ASTM and OSHA standards.

Professional‑Grade Design Features

  • Dielectric safety: Every switch stick is crafted from high‑grade fiberglass, keeping these electrical sticks lightweight yet fully insulated.

  • Positive‑lock or quick‑twist collars: Extend or retract a stick in seconds for faster “hot switch” operations and fuse pulls.

  • Universal and hook fittings: Tackle everything from routine switching to cut‑out replacements with one tool. For extra rigidity at full reach, consider the field‑proven Hastings triangular extendo switch stick.

  • High‑visibility finish: Bright yellow laminate helps these switches stick out in low‑light conditions and resists chipping or peeling.

Built for every task

Our range covers the daily challenges linemen face: 

Routine switching:

A compact stick such as the Chance Telescoping Disconnect Stick 7′ keeps you safely clear of energised equipment when opening or closing disconnects.

Fuse removal & cut‑out work

 An extendable switching stick lets you re‑seat cut‑out tubes from the ground.

Heavy‑duty isolations

Add the Hastings NEMA Disconnect Head to turn almost any pole into a robust hookstick disconnect switch ready for larger blades

Measurement & inspection

Graduated models double as measuring tools for quick clearance checks.
