The control clips on the MeterPuller snap onto the base of the meter. So to remove the meter just push the tool over the meter until the 4 control clips engage the meter's base. And to install a meter just put the meter into the tool until the control clips engage the meter's base and then push the meter into its contact points in the meter socket.

Virtually none if the product is used correctly. Plastic is not a good conductor of electricity. You still should follow your company's work rules regarding gloves, eye protection, etc.

The tool is equipped with sufficient vent holes on the side to disperse and redirect the gases and arcing to the side rather than to the operator or back into the meter base.

No, there is a solid barrier within the tool that prevents projectiles and arcing from contacting the operator.

This is the same product. Houston Industries Products was bought out in 2000 by Rauckman Utility Products. The only difference is that now the tool has been improved with a steel back-up spring instead of relying on the plastic housing to flex.
