They’re finding the snap‑on earths very light compared to other manufacturers’ earths, which has been well received in the field. The crews have also commented that they are easier to install and remove, which is a big plus.

We’re also hopeful that using your snap‑on earths will result in less damage to our extendable DDO sticks, which would be a great outcome from both a safety and asset‑care perspective.
