New ANSI-121 compliant Deluxe Side-Release Wrist Lanyard for small hand tools up to 5 lbs.

The Gear Keeper^® TL1-2007 offers worksite safety, increased productivity and fast change-out of tools.

Gear Keeper’s new ANSI-121 compliant Deluxe TL1-2007 side release wrist lanyard system for tools up to 5 lbs. are particularly important when a short drop length is critical when climbing or working in close quarters. Unlike an “off-the-shelf” lanyard, which can actually become a safety hazard, all Gear Keeper tethering systems insure dependable ANSI-121 safety and quality by the company’s stringent quality control systems. Quality Assurance includes the company’s dynamic and static testing, drop load testing with up to a 100% safety margin and cycle testing for safe productive use and long-life.

The economical TL1-2007 is attached to the wrist by a loop and cinch Velcro strap and connected to the tool by 10” lanyard with a barrel lock. Productivity is increased by the company’s patented Quick Connect tool attachment connectors that permit secure, fast and easy connection / disconnection of tools. No need to waste time when working with a variety of different tools. Users can quickly change out many tools by simply having extra lanyards attached to the tools and then unclick one tool and click in another. Additional lanyards are inexpensive and are available in 3 and 10 packs. Contact the company at 888.588.9981 for more information.

TL1-2007 side-release wrist tether, including one lanyard loop strap, retails for $12 each (also available in 10/packs $110). Additional lanyards are available in 3/packs ($14) and 10/packs ($45). The full line of Gear Keeper ANSI-compliant tethers and accessories are available on the company’s website at gearkeeper.com. A free, 16-page, 2019 edition of the “Safety Engineer’s Guide to Tool Tethering” is available by logging onto gearkeeper.com/guide or by calling Customer Service at 888.588.9981. The new Guide also includes a 4-page section showing how to easily and safely tether tools with and without attachment points as well as related product information.

42-Inch Anchor Tether Creates Spacious 18-foot Diameter Work Area

Gear Keeper’s proprietary elastic core offers 250% stretch with stress-free extension.

Gear Keeper’s new ergonomically constructed Super Coil anchored tool tethers are manufactured with a low-force polyurethane elastic core that is woven throughout the entire body of the webbing. The result is a tool tether that creates an 18-foot diameter working area but will gently retract to just 42-inches.

The model TL1-4025 is a flexible, low profile coil system that provides an 18-foot working diameter for heavier tools up to 25 pounds.

Designed for tools weighing up to 25lbs, Gear Keeper’s proprietary manufacturing process minimizes “extension” arm fatigue while in use but equally important, minimizes entanglement issues when climbing or working in confined areas. These new Gear Keeper products present compelling safety advantages by offering a significantly longer extension length combined with a shorter retraction length than competitive, ergonomically stiff tethers employing bungee-type cores. Employees will find their work more convenient and will appreciate the significant reduction in arm stress. The ultimate result will be higher employee compliance with your tethering program.

Load tested beyond the drop weight, other safety and strength features of the Super Coil tethers include a lanyard cord that is sewn lengthwise into the webbing to avoid damaging the integrity of the cord and insuring longer durability and strength. Competitive lanyard cords are sewn crosswise creating potential failure points.

The model TL1-4021 specifications include 1” tether webbing and two stainless steel carabiners load rated above 500 kgs (1100 + lbs.) with gates that do not hang up from a side load. It has a retracted length of 42” and extended length of 109”. The model TL-4025 specifications also includes a 1” tether webbing but has one stainless steel carabiner and a fixed web tool attachment loop. It has a retracted length of 50” and an extended length of 109”. Both models are of an adequate length to attach to buckets.
