We’ve built a solid reputation for durable, reliable equipment and straightforward solutions. And now, we're injecting a bit of comic book cool into the mix. Why Mike Zeck? Why "The Punisher"? You might be wondering what a dark, gritty comic book artist has to do with utility locating. Here’s the thing: underground work is tough. It’s demanding. It requires precision and a no-nonsense attitude. Frank Castle, “The Punisher,” is all about facing difficult challenges head-on and getting the job done, no matter how messy. “We wanted to acknowledge the hard work of the professionals who keep our infrastructure safe,” explains a spokesperson for ANCO UNDERGROUND. “These guys and gals are the unsung heroes, working in all conditions to prevent damage and ensure everything runs smoothly. Mike Zeck’s artwork embodies that same relentless dedication.” The limited edition locators feature striking artwork from Zeck’s classic “Punisher” run, specifically showcasing iconic imagery of the character’s skull emblem. It's a subtle but powerful nod to the tenacity required on the job. What are Utility Locators and Why Do You Need One? Okay, let’s break it down. Utility locating is essential for anyone digging. Seriously. Whether you're a construction crew building a new skyscraper, a landscaping team installing irrigation, or even a homeowner planting a tree, you need to know what’s buried beneath your feet. Hitting a gas line or electrical cable isn't just inconvenient – it’s dangerous, expensive, and can cause serious disruptions. ANCO UNDERGROUND’s utility locators use advanced radio frequency technology to pinpoint the location of underground utilities. They transmit a signal through the utility line, and then the locator picks up that signal, allowing you to trace the line's path. It’s like having X-ray vision for what’s underground!

ANCO UNDERGROUND’s flagship locator, already known for its reliability and ease of use, is getting a visual makeover.
