SUCH IS LIFE
Could be wrong but I think it’s something to do with vibration. Like a dampener. @Hodge your time to shine mate

Helical armour rod? Obviously I'm no expert, just googling around.

They're a lot of fun to fit when working live line , e.g. at 22,000v as you pretty much gotta do it strand by strand and sometimes it whacks you in the guts or neck and you sure know about it.

Thanks Guys, good info. I have looked at these things for 'years' without knowing what they were for. i now have power to our block in Wiseleigh and they are fitted to the line, just curious.
