Gear Keeper’s new RT3-5605 heavy-tool retractable tether’s ultra-low profile keeps tools close to the body when retracted, while still allowing effort-free accessibility when extended for use. Designed for tools up to 3.5 pounds, the retractor employs a very-low 7 ounce force to avoid arm strain when extended, but still strong enough to keep the line taught. When the tool is retracted, lanyard exposure is minimized to avoid snagging, especially when the tool is also placed in a tool bag/pouch.
The heavy-tool tether has a generous reach that extends 55 inches, and comes complete with a long-lasting and strong, impact-absorbing Spectra/Nylon webbing that resists wear and fatigue without the need for an additional shock-absorbing lanyard end. The RT3-5605 is ANSI-121 compatible and engineered so that the tool, application and recoil/retraction force are in balance. It also features a thumb-controlled gear lock that secures the lanyard at any length to reduce arm strain when working with heavier tools.
