  1. I "hooked" poles for NJ Bell back in the early 1970's. Can't say I liked it but it was a $101 a week job and so I took it.

  2. I use to do that when I was a little younger 😉 and I switched to Velcro 6months into my apprenticeship and have been wearing them for over 20 years and they haven't failed me yet...Now I hang from a helicopter so don't use them as much...
