Gear Keeper ergonomic anchored tool tethers

Ventura, California – Ergonomically constructed personal tool tethers can maximize worker productivity, convenience, safety and compliance. For heavy tools up to 25 lb, Gear Keeper’s ergonomic Anchored Tool Tether Series has been designed with a low-force polyurethane elastic core that has a 3:1 stretch factor. As a result, the Gear Keeper polyurethane elastic core tethers offer a short retracted length combined with a long extension length for significantly more stretch and retraction than competitive bungee-type core tethers.

 

The reduced length helps to avoid entanglement issues when climbing or working in close quarters. Additionally, to protect against dangerous drop shock, the new Gear Keeper heavy-tool tethers are load tested with a built-in safety margin beyond the breaking point.

 

Both of Gear Keeper’s new TL1-4021 and the TL1-4025 Anchored Tethers employ a very low stretch force. This minimizes arm fatigue at full extension, while still providing the proper degree of comfortable recoil. Employees will find their work more convenient and will appreciate the significant reduction in arm-stress. 

 

The model TL1-4021 specifications include 1" tether webbing and two stainless steel carabiners load rated above 500 kg with gates that do not hang up from a side load. It has a retracted length of 41" and extended length of 118". 

 

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 118".

 

Gear Keeper tethers and lanyards are products of Hammerhead Industries Inc.
