tool safety tether Knipex 00 50 01 T BK

The Knipex 00 50 01 T BK tool safety tether secures hand tools to prevent accidental drops and damage. It is intended for use in building construction, civil engineering, maintenance work and trade fair projects, and is also suitable for industrial climbers, roofers and mountaineers. The tether consists of a gathered fabric tape that extends under load to approximately 1.5 m (around 5 feet) and includes a flat belt strap sewn to one end and a cord with cord stopper sewn into the other end. The product is not personal protective equipment and is designed specifically for latching KNIPEX tether-compatible pliers and similar tools.

Advantages

The design prevents tool loss and reduces the risk of injury to people, animals and damage to objects below. A long working radius provides comfortable reach while working, and the cord allows the tether to be attached directly to a wrist, belt or climbing equipment. It can connect to KNIPEX tethered pliers without a carabiner and is lightweight for easy handling. The maximum recommended tool weight is 1.5 kg.
