Knipex Tools, Buffalo Grove, Illinois, has debuted its new ANSI-compliant tethering system and 1000V insulated tools for its tethered tools and attachments line. The additions include one ANSI-rated lanyard, two adapter straps and seven 1000V insulated tools.
The Knipex tethering system includes a captive eye to keep the lanyard secured to the carabiner and a self-locking gate to prevent any unintentional opening. It also comes with adapter straps that attach to personnel, and the tether attachment is welded onto the multi-grip handles for stable mounting and can hold a maximum tool load of 3.3 pounds.
