Journeyman Gear is proud to introduce our second bucket organizational tool for the lineman industry with the release of the BoomerHang. It is the first of it's kind that is designed to mount on the exterior of a bucket. The BoomerHang provides a fail-safe option for hanging expensive tools and equipment. Until now, the most popular options for hanging gear on the outside of the bucket were either on a plastic bucket hook or on the make-shift wrap around rope rig. More and more companies are banning due these methods due to accidents, broken tools and injuries from tools falling off onto the crewmen below. We can now hang our tools with confidence while providing a higher level of drop zone protection on every job site. With the ever growing complexity and expense of tools it’s very easy to end up having several thousand dollars in tooling hanging off our buckets on every pole, especially if we had to make room for a 2nd man to fly with us in the same bucket. For example, a squeeze tool alone can cost $2k-$5k, which makes the BoomerHang well worth utilizing in itself. During our field testing of this tool, it was remarkable to see first hand just how much room can be freed up just by hanging all our tools together and out of the way until needed, especially for the men working out of a single bucket where space is very limited to begin with.
- The BoomerHang is milled out of extremely strong material and has 3 integrated snap-on vertical braces that provide incredible support when loaded down. With all of the different tools that linemen require to perform our daily tasks including hoists, cordless tools, dog bone sockets, Lowell wrenches, hammers, handles, chainsaws, shotgun sticks and grounds, along with everything else that has a carabiner or hook, we are taking back the positive control of the drop zone.
- We designed the larger oval holes in the BoomerHang to provide enough room to slide around and sort through your tools easier even with gloves and sleeves on. Also, an added benefit of hanging gear in the BoomerHang is your tools will swing away from the edge of your bucket providing an easier grip on whatever tool your reaching for.
- Designed with maximum thickness of material between the holes and the outer edges of the tool to help prevent damage from pushing it against poles, trees or pole mounted equipment while operating the bucket.
- Once the BoomerHang is mounted on the bucket using 2 standard bucket hooks, it requires some effort to remove. We designed the tool to snap into position on the corners of a bucket so it could not be easily knocked off both during use and while truck is traveling down the road.
The BoomerHang is the 2nd tool in our bucket series, providing a brand-new option for tool organization following the Corner Pocket - Lineman's Bucket Organizer ), and we did not want linemen to have to choose between one or the other, so we engineered the BoomerHang to work perfectly in tandem with the CornerPocket on the same 2 hooks. When paired together on a bucket it is the ultimate tool hanging system, the perfect team. As with the CornerPocket, this tool is also easily broken down to lay flat, enabling it to be easily packed and stored.
