This unique Vest-Mounted tethering system includes a complete range of appropriate tethers for securing the following products: Hard Hat; Pen/Pencil; Smart Phone; Tablet/Large Radio; Tape Measure or Tool Tether; Small Radio tether and a variety of small hand tools.
An illustrated “Selecting Tether Style” reference aids users in choosing the proper ANSI-121 Compliant tether for each type of tool is included in the Guide. The guide also provides information on how even seemingly un-tetherable tools can be safely tethered. This multi-page section contains over 50 demonstration photos of the “Loop, Cinch & Secure” method that illustrate the guide’s tool attachment theories such as Swivel Connection Tools and Attaching Tools With Minimal Geometry.
New ANSI 121 Compliant products are also featured that address difficult workplace considerations such as; tethers for working in confined quarters or climbing; tethers that allow for quick interchangeability of tools and tethers designed to anchor a heavy tool to a structure instead of a person.
