Safety & Security

Central to the Squids 3196 Grinder Tool Tethering Kit is a Squids 3110F(x) Tool Lanyard. This lanyard's patented design prevents falling objects while absorbing any dynamic energy that might be transmitted through the lanyard's length to reduce any torque that your body, or anchor point, might experience if a drop occurs. By reducing this shock load, this tested and approved design prevents the tool from pulling the user down with it, effectively protecting everyone involved, both those above and those below. Durable, low-profile 1680 denier polyester, elastic-blend webbing with high-strength, three-ply nylon stitching on both ends ensures reliable, lighter-weight performance, and the lanyard's single-length format eliminates the potential for the weak points commonly seen on multi-component lanyard alternatives. Anodized, aluminum-alloy carabiners on both ends feature captive-eye attachment points to help the user better predict the direction of loads to minimize the potential for the lanyard hooking into the carabiners' gates as well as the potential for other related, dangerous lanyard issues. The included Squids 3797 Grinder Tool Trap Bracket accommodates one corded or cordless grinder as well as most similarly-designed power tools, and its corrosion-resistant, stainless-steel construction and built-in, dual-bolt, lock-washer tool-connection point ensures secure, durable performance. Once attached, the bracket keeps the lanyard away from the grinder’s wheel providing extra security while minimizing inconvenient workplace hassles. Kit features a maximum tethering capacity: 8 lb. Fastener Style: Carabiner; Lanyard Color(s): Orange/Gray; Length: 38"; Safety Breakaway Connector: No.

Squids 3700 Nylon Webbing Tool Tails make it easy to retrofit smaller hand tools for tool-lanyard tethering. Heavy-duty nylon webbing is double-stitched with high-tensile-strength nylon thread to ensure reliable performance in even the harshest work environments. A corrosion-resistant, stainless-steel D-ring on one end accommodates tool-lanyard connections. When combined with Squids 3775 Self-Adhering Tool Traps (traps sold-separately), a flat tool-tethering length on the other end accommodates tool-handle attachments. Simply lay the tail's tool-tethering length along your tool handle's length and wrap. These tool-lanyard tails are built to withstand defined weight limits and can easily be used by any worker to help avoid accidentally dropping objects that could cause extensive property damage and serious, potentially deadly injuries. When used properly, these tails feature a maximum safe working capacity of 2 lb with a 2:1 safety factor. Medium. Fastener Style: D-Ring; Lanyard Color(s): Orange/Black; Length: 4.5"; Safety Breakaway Connector: No.

The Squids 3708 Wire Tool Attachment has a screw gate closure to securely connect tool lanyards to tools with small captive holes. Connection points for tool lanyards are not always readily available on some tools, which can create hazardous environments while working at-heights. Tethering your tools should be a part of an overall fall protection plan to reduce the risk of dropped objects and increase workplace safety. The Wire Screw Gate Tool Tail is the unsung hero of most fall protection systems and is perfect for tethering tools like utility knives, small levels, speed squares, insulated pliers and other tools with small captive holes. The one-time assembly creates a quick and easy one-step attachment to connect a tool lanyard to tools with no attachment points. Simply unscrew the wire screw gate tool tail and stick one end through a captive hole on the tool. Bring the other end around and screw it closed to complete your loop. No tape or shrink are necessary with this attachment solution. The screw gate tool attachment is made of a strong steel wire that is corrosion resistant to withstand weathering and has black PU coating over the wire for extra protection and durability. These tool tether attachments are built to withstand defined weight limits and can easily be used by any worker to help avoid accidentally dropping objects that could cause damage, injuries or possibly death. Ideal for those tethering tools in construction, telecommunications, oil and gas, power generation, utilities, wind energy, manufacturing or other jobsites where dropped objects are a risk. Fastener Style: Loop; Lanyard Color(s): Black; Length: 6"; Safety Breakaway Connector: No.
