It provides fast, smooth tool access and helps absorb shock if a tool is dropped. Built for demanding industrial environments, the Retractor Unit features a premium, abrasion-resistant carbon steel housing and a high-strength, automatic-retracting industrial steel cable. The included link has an innovative, shock-absorbing design that allows it to flex under strain to mitigate impact force from a dropped tool. Supporting a high-capacity 1.5 kg / 3.3 lb weight rating, the unit maintains a highly compact profile. Extremely easy to install and compatible with all GRIPPS® Leather Scaffolders Range holsters, this unit is a reliable, safe, and efficient tool-tethering solution. FAQ Q: What is the maximum weight capacity of the GRIPPS® Retractor Unit With Link (H07040)? A: This retractor unit is designed to safely secure hand tools with a maximum weight of 1.5 kg / 3.3 lb. Q: Is this retractor unit ANSI compliant? A: Yes, it is fully compliant with the ANSI/ISEA 121-2023 standard for dropped object prevention solutions, ensuring it meets rigorous safety testing requirements. Q: What holsters is this retractor compatible with? A: The unit is engineered for extremely easy installation and seamless integration with all holsters across the GRIPPS® Leather Scaffolders Range. Q: What happens if I drop a tool attached to this retractor? A: The included GRIPPS® Retractor Link features an innovative, shock-absorbing design. If a drop occurs, the link flexes under strain to mitigate the impact force, protecting both the user and the anchoring holster from severe shock loads. Q: How far does the tether cable extend? A: The automatic-retracting cable has a maximum extension length of 1.25 meters (49 inches), providing fast and smooth tool access without restricting your movement. Q: Why use a retractable tether over a standard bungee tether? A: Retractable tethers like this unit maintain a highly compact profile by automatically retracting excess slack into the housing. This significantly reduces snag hazards in confined or complex industrial spaces while still providing the necessary reach for the job.
