Kenosha, Wis., September 21, 2016 — A tool dropped from an elevated work platform poses immediate danger to personnel and equipment below. Snap-on Industrial is taking steps to help prevent that scenario from occurring with the launch of its new Tools@Height Tools Over 5 lbs. with engineered attachment point.
Ideal for the aviation, power generation, natural resources and manufacturing industries, these tethered tools (five styles of pipe wrenches, four styles of hammers and two styles of adjustable wrenches) come with a 3-foot-long web strap/carabiner system designed for use with “master ring” attachment systems to prevent a tool from falling to the ground. What makes the Tools@Height Tools Over 5 lbs. with engineered attachment point different from other similar tools is that its tethering system is designed in conjunction with the tool, and not viewed as an afterthought. The web strap doesn’t interfere with the technician’s ability to use the tool; and the web strap attachment point is more comfortable than shackles or rings and allows full use of handle. The 11 tools weigh between 6 and 20 lbs.
