Abstract
A transitional member for attaching between an elongate member and a tip that selectively engages operational catches on electrical distribution equipment mounted on poles of an electrical distribution system, in which the transitional member has a body with a connecter for engaging a distal end of the elongate member at a first angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the elongate member and a portion of the body opposing the connector defines a second connector for engaging a tip at a second angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the elongate member, so that the tip, being engaged at the second angle in the operational catch on electrical distribution equipment, operates the electrical distribution equipment by selective movement of the elongate member. A light source is operatively associated with the transition member. A method of operating a catch on remote electrical distribution equipment is disclosed.
