TOOLS & HARDWARE - GENERAL

The patented Squids 3001 Retractable Tool Lanyard with Choking-Loop Tool Tether + Carabiner Anchor features a lightweight, low-profile retractable design that limits snags, tangles and tripping hazards. Use the choking-loop tool tether with energy-absorbing cord and tubular nylon webbing to secure to hand tools weighing up to 2 lb, so that your tool is always kept close while you work at heights. Use the carabiner for connecting the lanyard to your climbing harness's D-rings or to some other anchor point. Swivel rings on both ends feature a full 360° rotational range to minimize ergonomics-related hassles. Fixed-length locks with self-setting pawls make it easy to set the desired lanyard length. Set your working length by pulling the ultra-strong Technora cord out to the desired length, and then slightly tug the cord upwards to lock it in place. To retract, slightly extend the Technora cord out a bit further to release the lock, allowing the cord to retract back into its industrial-grade, ABS housing. Modular connecting buckle makes it easy to quickly switch out your attached tool for any other that you have equipped with a Squids 3026 Choking-Loop Tool Tether (additional tethers sold separately). Safety lanyards are an integral part of any fall-protection plan and are used to reduce the risks associated with falling objects to ensure workplace safety. When working at-heights, it’s critical to tether your tools, so do it right with Squids tool lanyards and tethers. Third-party certified to a 2:1 safety factor.

The easy-to-use Squids 3002 Retractable Lanyard with Carabiner + Belt-Loop Anchor features a patent-pending design that limits snag hazards, while maintaining a low profile when anchored. High-strength, cut-resistant Dyneema cord meets the demands of the harshest conditions, while keeping the weight down to a minimum. Textured for a better grip and greater overall functionality, the durable, fiberglass-reinforced nylon housing protects the internal workings of the retractable design, and a tapered cord exit limits the potential for concrete and other debris from entering the mechanism when the cord is retracted back into the housing. A double-action, self-locking aluminum carabiner allows the user to connect the lanyard to tools weighing up to 0.5 lb for full retractable functionality (or 2 lb for drop-protection only). The carabiner end of the lanyard also features a swiveling connection to minimize awkward working positions. A metal-frame, fixed-web belt/harness attachment with hook-and-loop backing allows the user to anchor the lanyard to straps up to 3 wide.
