Oct. 12, 2020
Congratulations to the category winners, runners up and 2020 Top Tool of the Trade for product innovation in the electric utility industry.
Congratulations to Buckingham Manufacturing Co. Inc., which has been selected by our subscribers as the Top Tool of the Trade for 2020 for its OX Block™ Clevis Top with the Buck Pin. The product competition is presented by T&D World and Utility Products magazines.
After a panel of judges selected the category winners and runners up, the 12 products competed for the title of the Top Tool of the Trade. End users had the opportunity to vote for their favorite product in an online poll.
At noon today, Maximo Fuentes announced the news in a Facebook Live video on the International Lineman Rodeo Association Facebook page. Be sure to like and comment on this video for the chance to win a Pro Dry Tech hoodie from True North Gear or gift cards to Cabela's from IFD Corp. The video is also included below as part of Medal Monday of Lineman Celebration Week.
The Buck Pin was designed to change back and forth quickly and easily between Buckingham-approved slings and/or hardware when using the OX Block™ with a shackle top. The pin may be easily removed with something as simple as a flat-head screwdriver and is just as easy to add back, making it easy to change out configurations in the field.
