Railroad Tools and Solutions LLC: Personal Spike Setter

Railroad Tools And Solutions LLC introduces the Personal Spike Setter, developed by a production and safety-oriented railroader. It is a simple tool designed to keep a worker's hand six inches from the strike zone. The tool hangs on the worker's belt, making it readily accessible. The company says some of the tool's benefits include: spikes can be picked off ties or kegs, potentially fewer reportable injuries, it is basically indestructible and provides reduced vibration to the hand.
