Wuppertal. Working at heights is associated with increased risk. For this reason, KNIPEX now offers a flexible fall protection system for its own Tethered Tools* range of pliers. The versatile system can be used in areas from building construction to industrial climbing. Hazards caused by falling tools are significantly reduced as a result.
The components of the flexible three-part fall protection system are perfectly coordinated with each other and with pliers in the KNIPEX Tethered Tools range. The core element is the flexible tether, which permits a large operating radius and comfortable handling of the secured tool. The adapter strap primarily guarantees that the tool can be switched safely, quickly and without problems from the tool bag to the tether. The strap made of sewn flat belt and cord may be directly secured to the wrist, belt or climbing gear. The robust and light material carabiner made of aluminium completes the set. In order to offer users several securing options, all parts are also available separately.
In addition to the Tethered Tools* range already available, KNIPEX now also supplies 16 different models of VDE pliers corresponding to DIN EN / IEC 60900 with fall protection. These are equipped with a very strong tether attachment point that is welded tightly to the handle. Using a separately available fall protection system, the tool is reliably secured without this affecting use of the pliers.
