ANSI-121 Compliant Retractable Tether

Dec. 10, 2018

 Gear Keeper’s new ANSI-121 compliant, heavy-tool retractable tether’s low profile keeps tools weighing up to 3.5 lbs. close to the body when retracted while still allowing complete accessibility when needed. The retractor mechanism’s low 7 oz. tension of the lanyard lets you use your tool like it wasn’t even attached to a tether.  Safely avoiding interference with the work being performed, the tension still remains strong enough to keep the tether’s line taut and out of the way. Also, when the tool is retracted, lanyard exposure is minimized to avoid snagging, especially when the tool is also placed in a tool bag/pouch. Designed to never impact use, the RT3-5605 heavy-tool tether has a generous reach extending more than 4.5 feet. The full line of Gear Keeper ANSI-compliant tethers and accessories are available on the company’s website at gearkeeper.com.
