Zusammenfassung:A gaiter 100 for use with a tool 200 comprising a main body 102 having first 104 and second 106 ends and adapted to surround the hand, a first gaiter coupling 124 coupled to the first end, and a tool coupling 110 adapted to couple to the tool and removably mate with the first gaiter coupling to removably couple the tool to the main body. Preferably the gaiter further comprises a second gaiter coupling 126 and a cuff coupling 116 attached to a cuff portion 114 to removably mate with the second gaiter coupling. The cuff coupling might be integrated into PPE or clothing. The gaiter may be formed of first, second and third layers; the first layer being an inner layer, the second layer being a non-conductive layer, and the third being a non-conductive and abrasion resistant layer. The gaiter may be formed of suitable materials to allow a line worker to use tools on high voltage lines but allow direct manipulation of the tool instead of needing to hold the tool with thick gloves.
