E-Z-Hook is often best known for manufacturing “little things” for test and electronic applications. These products are often used in a lab environment or designed to be connected or integrated as part of another manufactures test device or system. What many companies don’t know is that E-Z-Hook designs and manufacturers many products and kits for companies field employees and test engineers.
E-Z-Hook services a lot of industrial companies. We have created solutions for field employees that have taken us in different product directions then our “standard” lines. Our long-handled probe line is an industrial test solution used by field technicians predominately servicing AC POWER, UPS or COOLING SYSTEMS. Often these systems being tested are behind gated infrastructure, or it’s simply not safe for the technicians to be to close, let alone touch something directly. The long-handled probe has a hard straight tube which extends to 30″ for extra reach. This length (or distance) is important when testing, but a little long to carry around in your standard toolkit. Not a problem. The long probe was designed in two pieces, which can be easily and quickly screwed together on site. If purchased as a set they even come with a simple soft zipper nylon carry bag for immediate storage.
Long-handled probes are available with three standard wire length leads 36″, 48″, or 60″(measured from back of hard tubing to connector). While our most popular connectors are shrouded and standard banana plugs, these probe test leads can be customized with virtually any connector type. Interchangeable probe tips are also available pending the application need.
So next time you wonder how someone can test something behind a cage, or that says “warning- do not touch”- now you know. Just a reminder, these are for commercial use by trained field technicians.
