New 12-page guide includes sections on How to Select the Proper Tether or Retractable Lanyard, Tool and Instrument Tethers and Custom Tethers as well as tethers for hard hats to security cards.

Injury, damage and lost work hours resulting from untethered tools falling from aloft cost U.S. industry about $6 billion a year. A staggering figure, yet this type of accident is almost completely preventable by using a relatively inexpensive tethering device.

Unfortunately, until now very little information existed in print to advise safety engineers about safe tool tethering compliance. To help safety professionals choose tethers that increase site safety without impeding productivity, Hammerhead Industries, manufacturer of Gear Keeper tethers and retractable lanyards, has produced the new 12-page “Safety Engineer’s Guide to Tool and Instrument Tethering.”

The guide’s “Select the Right Tether in Four Easy Steps” chart is designed as a quick reference that will aid safety professionals when selecting appropriate tethers for tools up to 25 pounds. Also covered in the guide are workplace considerations such as; tethers for working in confined quarters or climbing; tethers that allow for quick interchangeability of tools; when is it mandatory to anchor the tether to a structure instead of a person; choosing tethers that reduce worker’s fatigue and what safety engineers need to know about load-testing and built-in safety margins for tethers.

The “Industrial Tool Tether” section includes an X/Y chart that helps safety engineers quickly match tether and lanyard model numbers to tool weight and usage. With over 3,000 tethering configurations available, the guide highlights many of Gear Keeper’s most popular tethers and lanyards.

For safety engineers concerned with the safety and protection of hand-held instruments such as bar code readers, the “Instrumentation Tether” section covers a range of tethering options. Among the unique tether configurations described is a shoulder strap tether that offers an exclusive “Instrument Slide” feature that permits instrument movement on the strap without the strap moving on the worker’s body.

Even how to tether other workplace objects such as hard hats, security cards, cell phones and micro-tools are covered in the guide. Information is also included about tethering seemingly “untetherable” tools and how to create custom tethers for unique applications.

According to John Salentine, VP of Hammerhead Industries, “the new Safety Engineer’s Guide to Tool and Instrument Tethering is the first document of its kind. It is a major step forward in helping safety engineers properly tether tools and instruments.” Salentine added, “this information will make every repair, maintenance or manufacturing project safer and more efficient.”

When Working in Close Quarters Or Climbing – New Retractable Tether Minimizes Entanglement By Keeping Tools Close At Hand.

Like other retractables in the Gear Keeper line, the RT3-5601 is engineered so that the tool, application and recoil/retraction force are in balance.

Gear Keeper’s new RT3-5601 retractable tether, for tools up to two pounds, is particularly valuable when working in close quarters or climbing. Available in high visibility orange, the retractable tether’s ultra low profile keeps tools close to the body when stored while still allowing complete accessibility in all directions when in use. The tether’s patented side-release clip improves productivity while maintaining drop safety by providing a method for easily exchanging one tool for another.

Like other retractables in the Gear Keeper line, the RT3-5601 is engineered so that the tool, application and recoil/retraction force are in balance. When the RT3-5601 retractable tether is extended for use, only minimal force is necessary thereby avoiding worker fatigue or in the reverse, causing a ”kick” when the tool is automatically retracted.

The RT3-5601 tether extends up to 42” and to reduce arm strain, the tether features a ratcheted thumb-controlled device to lock the cable at any extension length. Additionally, the unique Dual-Axis rotation clamp-on clip attaches easily to a tool belt or fall protection harness. Because of the universal movement of the dual action clip, resistance and line wear are minimized and the life of the tether is extended.

According to John Salentine, VP of Hammerhead Industries, “A properly tethered tool or instrument makes work more efficient and simplifies every repair, maintenance or manufacturing project. Salentine added, “When retractable tethers complement the tool, worker and application, your employee will be an advocate rather that an antagonist.”

RT3-5601 retractable tool lanyards including the dual-axis belt clip retail for $34.99 per unit. For bulk pricing (50 or more) call 888.588.9981

With millions of systems in use, Gear Keeper devices have a failure rate of less than .001 percent. The full line of Gear Keeper instrument tethers and accessories are available on the company’s website at www.gearkeeper.com.

New Gear Keeper RT3-5602 Retractable Tether Keeps Trowel Safe and At Hand.

When the trowel is stored, held or used with the Gear Keeper model RT3-5602 retractable tool tether, the dangers of entanglement, fatigue and annoyance are minimized and worker satisfaction and output are maximized.

When a employee working aloft accidentally drops a trowel a serious work site incident can be set in motion. If the trowel is dropped from just 30 feet, it will hit the ground in less than 2 seconds. Aside from the inconvenience, and lost down time spent retrieving the dropped tool, there is a significant danger of injury and damage to everyone and everything below.

Retractable personal tool tethers offer exceptional benefits of safety, productivity and comfort for workers. When the trowel is stored, held or used with the Gear Keeper model RT3-5602 retractable tool tether, the dangers of entanglement, fatigue and annoyance are minimized and worker satisfaction and output are maximized.

The retractable unit features a locking device that permits a fixed extension to any length up to 42 inches. In addition, the tether’s carabiner can be attached to worker’s belt hook, D-ring or a stationary object. A patented quick-release feature allows the easy change out of tools with minimal waste of time.

The “fixed loop” attachment feature of the RT3-5602 also permits tethering of trowels that have no other attachment point. The worker would just slip knot the “fixed loop” over the handle.

Fulfilling the safety engineer’s goal in correct tethering procedures for tools up to two pounds, Gear Keeper retractable tethers are designed so that the tool, application and recoil/retraction force are in balance. When a Gear Keeper retractable tether is extended for use, only minimal force is necessary thereby avoiding worker fatigue or in the reverse, causes a ”kick” when the tool is automatically retracted.

The new Gear Keeper tether is high visibility orange in color and features a tag that shows the weight of the tool appropriate for the tether as well as traceability info such has date manufactured. The Gear Keeper model RT3-5602 has a MSRP of $34.99.

Built for heavy-duty industrial use with maximum breakage strength and durability, Gear Keeper retractable tethers are even designed to survive extended salt water and chlorine exposure. They are virtually jam-free with a patented flushing system that self clears sand and other debris from the retractor mechanism.

New Anchored Tool Tethers Can Save Lives

New From Gear Keeper – 15-25-Pound Anchored Tethers Provide Safety and Security for Construction and Field Force Workers

Hammerhead Industries, manufacturers of Gear Keeper industrial tool tethering systems, today announced a pair of new tool tethers for heavy tools and instruments. Both of the new anchored tethers are designed for attachment to a fixed structure rather than to a person.

The TL1-3025 Fixed Loop Tether and TL1-4025 Fixed Loop Tether are rated at 15 and 25 pounds respectively to keep drills, power drivers, electronic meters and other heavy tools and instruments safely tethered to avoid injury to the worker or the work site.

The “fixed loop” attachment feature of these new models also permits tethering of tools that have no other attachment point. For example, when a larger loop is required to go around a large handle like a chain saw, the worker would just slip knot the “fixed loop” over the handle.

Easily attached to a fixed object such as high-rise bucket or scaffolding, anchoring the tether transfers the shock load produced by a dropped tool from the worker to the structure. Tethering heavy tools, generally over 10 pounds, is a significant safety concern. If dropped, a 10-pound tool can have a shock load that exceeds 200 pounds.

The Gear Keeper model TL1-3025 Fixed Loop Tether has a short retracted length of only 32 inches to avoid entanglement coupled with a low-force extension to 45 inches that minimizes fatigue during use. The coil is covered with high-strength nylon webbing that can withstand tough working conditions.

The model TL1-4025 is a flexible, low profile coil system that provides a 10-foot working radius for tools like power drills, nail guns, power drivers and other heavier weight tools. The coil system is fully enclosed in rugged nylon orange webbing that increases the tether’s overall strength and durability under tough on-the-job conditions for tools up to 25 pounds.

The model TL1-4025 is a flexible, low profile coil system that provides a 10-foot working radius for tools like power drills, nail guns, power drivers and other heavier weight tools.

The new Gear Keeper models are also high visibility orange in color and feature a tag that shows the weight of the tool appropriate for the tether as well as traceability info such has date manufactured.

“This safety tag is a new feature that will help Safety Engineers make sure that each tool has the proper tether for the job,” said John Salentine, VP of Hammerhead Industries. “Safety starts first with the proper mating of both the tool and the tether to ensure productivity and safety in the work environment.”

The Gear Keeper TL1-3025 has a MSRP of $19.00. The Gear Keeper TL1-4025 retails for $49.99.
