A line cart puller is provided for moving a line cart along at least one overhead conductor and past at least one support tower. The line cart puller comprises a workspace defined at least by one or more sidewalls for supporting a payload therein and at least one drive wheel capable of connecting to and disconnected from a first surface of the at least one overhead conductor. A motor of a hand-operated tool is operable to rotate at least one motor power output wherein the motor is located entirely within the workspace, said motor comprising a throttle control, a starter and a motor brake. A transmission system removably connectable to receive power from the motor via the motor power output to provide power to the at least one drive wheel for moving the line cart and the payload along the at least one overhead conductor. The throttle control, starter and motor brake of the motor provide a motor, throttle, starter, and brake for the line cart puller and at least one drive wheel is disconnectable from the at least one overhead conductor to accommodate movement of the line cart past the at least one support tower. A method is further provided for moving a line cart along at least one overhead conductor and past at least one support tower.
