A Tool Lanyard is a tether that is designed to act as an intermediate device between the tool or object and the anchor point. They allow a tool to be used whilst maintaining a direct connection that will arrest the fall if they are accidentally dropped in use. A properly tethered tool ensures the safety of those working around and below you, improves efficiency simply by ensuring that tools are handy and accessible and protects your tools by preventing impact damage when dropped.
PRODUCT DETAILS
This tool lanyard comes with a 130mm choke loop one end and a 18mm swivel double action karabiner at the other. When working at height dropping tools can prove fatal, using a tool lanyard to tether the tool to an anchor point helps to prevent this from happening.
Produced using high contrast Kinetic™ polyester webbing, it incorporates inner webbing that (in the event of a drop) will stretch under a constant controlled force. The red indicator stitch will pop if the tool lanyard is involved in a drop and should be taken out of service. This tool lanyard can hold a tool up to 10 kg in weight.
This tool lanyard is suitable to use with tools that have a captive handle/eye or to choke around/attach to our range of retro-fit tool attachments.
