Abstract
A method for moving operational catches on electrical distribution equipment mounted on poles of an electrical distribution system with a tool connected to a transitional member attached to an end of the pole, in which the transitional member connects at a first angle relative to the elongate member and at a second angle relative to the tool, with a light source in the transitional member oriented at an oblique angle for simultaneously illuminating a work area of the electrical distribution equipment and the tool, whereby the tool is illuminable by the light source even though the intermediate member is placed selectively in differing orientations relative to the elongate member.
