Tool Safety Tether

While working on a roof, scaffold or high ladder, you should tether each of your tools to reduce the potential for injury to anyone below. Used by workers in Japan (which has strict safety regulations), this tether attaches quickly to both your tools and your belt to limit the distance a tool will fall when accidentally dropped. It is suitable for any tool that has a closed handle or integral hang-hole.

The coiled cable is nylon-coated stainless steel and all hardware is nickel plated. Overall length is 6' with the coiled cable fully extended (2' when relaxed). With a breaking strength of approximately 50kg (110 lb), it is sturdy enough to restrain even the heaviest portable tools. A simple but effective device that contributes to working safely overhead.
