The Benefits Of NLG Tool Lanyards for Working at Height

When individuals are working above ground level, such as on scaffolding, ladders, or elevated platforms, dropped tools can pose a significant safety hazard to both workers and bystanders below. Tool tethering helps reduce this risk by keeping tools securely attached to the worker or to a fixed anchor point while they are being used.

That’s where Never Let Go (NLG) comes in. Specialising in tool tethering and dropped-object prevention, NLG develops equipment designed for professionals working at height where secure tool attachment is essential.

Tool lanyards are an essential component of a tool tethering system, helping prevent tools from being dropped while still allowing workers to use them comfortably and efficiently at height. At MTN SHOP, we stock a range of NLG tool lanyards and tethering solutions for different tools, working environments and applications.

Key Benefits of NLG Tool Lanyards Include:

Prevention of Dropped Tools

Tool lanyards provide a secure tethering solution that helps prevent tools from being dropped when working at height. Different lanyard types can be matched to different tools, from lightweight coil lanyards for smaller hand tools to heavy-duty webbing lanyards for larger equipment.

Minimised Tangling Tripping Hazards

Certain lanyard designs can help minimise tangling and excess slack while working. Coil lanyards remain compact when not extended, while bungee lanyards contract when the tool is brought closer to the user, helping keep the tether out of the way when it is not required at full length.

Improved Mobility & Ergonomics

Different lanyard designs provide varying levels of movement depending on the task. Bungee lanyards offer stretch for greater reach, while non-stretch webbing lanyards provide freedom of movement without elastic resistance, making them particularly useful on working platforms and MEWPs.

Improved Mobility & Ergonomics

NLG offers a range of tool lanyards designed for different tools and working environments. From coil and bungee lanyards for hand tools to heavy-duty webbing and specialist chainsaw lanyards, the appropriate tether can be selected to suit the tool, task and working conditions.

Durable Construction

NLG tool lanyards are built to withstand the rigours of daily use in demanding work environments. Depending on the design, they use durable materials such as bungee webbing, coiled tethering systems and heavy-duty flat webbing, together with robust connectors and attachment points for reliable performance.

The Lightweight Coil Tool Lanyard provides a secure solution for tethering small tools such as spanners and ratchets. Its compact coiled design and dual rotating connectors help avoid snagging and tangles whilst still allowing the user to access those hard-to-reach places. The low recoil force of the coil allows for effortless reach so that it can be used comfortably all day, whilst the anti-puncture wipe clean sleeve provides durability and makes it easy to remove dirt. The robust, rotating connectors have been designed so that they do not interfere with the operation of the spanner and prevent any tangling to make this the ideal scaffold spanner tool lanyard.

The long length provides full freedom of movement and allows you to work in a large area without having to disconnect the tool or lanyard.
