Tool tethering

Tool tethering prevents tools from falling from height and causing damage or injury. With the right attachment systems, hand tools remain safely connected to either the user or the workplace. This not only improves safety on site, but also helps prevent material loss and unnecessary downtime.

About tool tethering

During work at height, dropped tools present a real risk to people and installations below the work area. Tool tethering consists of smart solutions such as tool lanyards, attachment points and adapters that safely secure tools during use.

By combining the right tethering system with the appropriate tools, users can work safely and efficiently on roofs, structures, scaffolding and industrial installations. These solutions often form part of a broader safety strategy for work at height.

D-ring

The D-ring is a compact attachment point for tool tethering applications. This accessory is mounted directly onto the tool and provides a reliable anchor point for a tool lanyard or coiled tether.

It is ideal for applications where tools must be safely secured during work at height. Thanks to its compact design, the tool remains easy to handle during use.

D-ring cord

The D-ring cord is a ready-to-use solution for securing tools without permanent modification. The cord is attached around the tool, creating a secure attachment point for a tool lanyard.

It's ideal for temporary use or for tools that cannot be modified.

Quick-wrap tape

The quick-wrap tape is designed to quickly and easily create an attachment point on tools. The tape is wrapped around the tool and, when used together with a D-ring, forms a secure anchor point.

This solution is ideal for irregularly shaped tools or applications where flexibility is required.

Handle attachment

The handle attachment allows tools to be secured directly to the handle. This helps prevent dropped tools without affecting ergonomics or ease of use.

Ideal for hand tools that are frequently used while working at height.

Adjustable wristband

The adjustable wristband ensures that tools remain safely attached to the user. It is worn around the wrist and connected to the tool using a tool lanyard.

This solution is ideal for small tools that are used frequently and require maximum freedom of movement.

Coiled tether

The coiled tether is an elastic tool tether designed to prevent dropped tools. Thanks to its coiled design, the tether remains compact during use and only extends when needed.

Ideal for work at height where both mobility and safety must be combined.

Quick connector

The quick connector allows tools to be connected to or disconnected from a tool lanyard quickly and safely. This improves efficiency when changing tools during work.

The connector provides a reliable connection and is suitable for professional use.

Belt pouch for small parts

The belt pouch for small parts is designed for safely storing small components while working at height. Thanks to its robust construction, parts remain securely stored and within easy reach.

Ideal for assembly, maintenance and installation work.

Safety bucket

The safety bucket is a robust transport solution for tools and materials used at height. Its durable construction helps prevent materials from falling out of the bucket and ensures safe lifting or carrying.

Maximum capacity: 45.4 kg (L) or 113.4 kg (XL).

Single & double tool holder

The smart tool holder allows tools to be safely attached to a belt, keeping them within easy reach during work at height. Thanks to its practical design, tools can quickly be stored and retrieved without compromising safety.

The integrated Quick-Mag system with powerful magnet allows tools to be attached easily to the holder. The holders are also equipped with highly visible reflective elements, improving visibility and safety during work. A drainage opening at the bottom allows use in wet conditions.

In addition, the holders are fitted with D-rings with a maximum load capacity of 2.3 kg, allowing additional tools to be secured safely. The double version provides extra carrying capacity and is ideal when multiple tools are needed simultaneously.
