What’s the Best Single Tool for Surveyors and Municipal Crews?
Share
Municipal crews work tirelessly to keep our towns and roads safe and looking great. The are out every day, removing obstacles, monitoring right-of-ways, and ensuring the care of our cities. These crews have a variety of tasks that they do in a day, many of which are outdoors and require them to get to areas that are difficult to access.
Similarly, a surveyor’s office is largely in the great outdoors. To gain precise measurements for property boundaries, road projects, and prepare sites for construction, the surveyor needs access to areas that not many people travel.
Each of these professionals uses a number of specialized tools to accomplish their daily tasks. There is one challenge that both professionals face, however. And there is a single, multi-purpose tool that can make the job of a surveyor or municipal crew much easier.
Clearing Brush and Vegetation
Overgrown and high grass and vegetation can be a safety concern for both surveyors and municipal crews. Brush and grass can prevent drivers from seeing these crews as they are our performing their daily tasks.
This overgrowth can also be a hazard to drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians, wildlife, and livestock. Motorists may not have a clear field of vision near corners, and heavy or high brush may obscure wildlife or livestock, making it seem as if they came out of nowhere. Bicyclists and pedestrians may be forced off of paths or other right-of-ways because of overgrowth, pushing them into the path of cars and trucks.
And, of course, municipal crews and surveyors must frequently access areas off the beaten path, whether that’s to take measurements, find boundary lines, or locate controls or expose fire hydrants.
All of these instances can be managed with the Woodman’s Pal. This all-in-one brush clearing and land management tool is superbly balanced, making it easy to swing to remove high grasses and cut away obscuring brush. The handle is handcrafted, stained, coated, and beeswax rubbed for durability and grip.
