Quick Connect tool tethers

Nov. 15, 2010

To prevent injury, damage or loss as well as complying with OSHA regulations, all tools used aloft must be secured against accidental displacement. But when working aloft requires an assortment of tools, hanging multiple tethers from an employee or structure can create a potentially dangerous working environment. Gear Keeper’s patented, Quick Connect tool tether permits the user to safely change out a tool in seconds saving valuable time on the job. When a tool is unplugged from the tether, the user simply selects the next tool to use, plugs it in and returns to work. The quick release component comes in an assortment of configurations including split ring, mini-lanyard straps, side release, bungee strap, snap clip, and more. Tethers are available in both retractable and lanyard styles. They can be attached to the user’s wrist, tool belt, shoulder strap or tool carrier. In the case of heavier tools or instruments the tethers can be anchored to the structure. For more information visit www.gearkeeper.com.
