Abstract: An apparatus for lifting and applying a rolled, tubular aerial cable marker to a cable, including a support, a top holding bar carried by the support for receiving and retaining a top end of a cable marker roll in an at least partially unrolled, tensioned condition, and for positioning and releasing the top end of the cable marker onto the cable. A bottom holding bar is carried by the support and retains a bottom end of the rolled cable marker, and releases the bottom end of the cable marker onto the cable, thereby allowing the cable marker to return to its initial, rolled tubular shape in position around the cable. A related method is also disclosed.

Abstract: An aerial cable marker placement tool that includes a bracket, hooks carried by the top portion of the bracket, and a cable marker support carried by the bracket and positioned in vertically spaced-apart relation below the hook for holding a cable marker having a cable retention channel in a first position spaced below the hook and as the cable marker is moved from the first position to a second position with the cable retention channel positioned on a cable.

Abstract: A reduced emissions work light that includes a bulb having an elongated bulb tube, a handle adjacent the bulb and adapted for being gripped by a user to manipulate the work light, an emissions containment housing positioned adjacent the bulb tube, and an integrated ballast and filter assembly. The integrated ballast and filter assembly is located within the housing and operatively connected to the bulb for providing voltage to the bulb and reducing emissions generated by the work light.

Abstract: A fishtape is adapted for being fed through an internal passageway of a structure. The fishtape includes an elongated, flexible rod with a plurality of circumferentially-spaced, longitudinal ribs. The ribs are adapted to promote the fishability of the fishtape through the internal passageway of the structure.
