NLG 25 Tool Modular Tethering Kit - Complete Tool-Side Attachment System

Who Is This For

The NLG 25 Tool Modular Tethering Kit is used by site managers and procurement teams standardising tool-side attachment across a fleet of hand tools, where the priority is fitting a certified attachment point to each tool rather than equipping a single individual with a complete personal tethering system. It suits teams with existing lanyards and anchor points already in use who need to restock or expand their Step 1 tether coverage, and organisations running large tool inventories across construction, facilities, or industrial maintenance operations.

Typical Applications

• Fitting tool-side attachment points to a large inventory of hand tools across a team or site.

• Restocking Step 1 tether components for an existing tethering programme where lanyards and anchors are already in place.

• Standardising attachment methods across a fleet of tools using a mix of D-rings, tether rings, and specialist attachments.

• Providing a starting reference kit that demonstrates all three tethering steps before scaling up lanyard and anchor quantities separately.

How to Use

Step 1: Fit the appropriate tether type to each tool based on its shape: Small or Large D-Rings for most captive-hole tools, Tether Rings for shaped mid-sections, Tether Tape for smooth-bodied tools, and Spin Tethers or the 360 D-Ring Loop for tools requiring rotation.

Step 2: Confirm whether existing lanyards and anchor points are already in place for each tethered tool. This kit includes 3 lanyards and 1 anchor as a representative sample, not a 1:1 set for all 25 attachment points.

Step 3: Where additional lanyards or anchors are needed to complete individual tethering systems, purchase these separately to match the specific tool weights involved.

Step 4: Use the Belt Loop Anchor or Adjustable Wristband as reference points when specifying further anchor equipment for the team.

Step 5: Log inspection of each NLG ID enabled component before first use and at each subsequent formal inspection interval.

Common Mistakes

• Assuming this kit provides 25 complete tethering systems: the 25 refers to tool-side attachment points only. Additional lanyards are required to connect each attachment point to an anchor for simultaneous use across all 25 tools.

• Using the wrong tether type for the tool shape: match D-rings to captive holes, tether rings to shaped sections, and tape to smooth bodies. Using the wrong type reduces attachment security.

• Not sizing lanyards to individual tool weight: when purchasing additional lanyards to complete the system, match lanyard rating to the actual weight of each tool.

• Skipping pre-use inspection on individual components: each of the 13 product types must be inspected according to its own product datasheet before use.

Safety

Each component within this kit carries its own individual load rating and safety standard, detailed on that product's own datasheet. There is no single kit-level load rating. This kit does not provide a complete tethering system for 25 simultaneously tethered tools; it provides 25 tool-side attachment points alongside a limited sample of lanyards and one anchor point. Additional lanyards and anchors, correctly rated to individual tool weights, are required to complete a compliant system across the full set of attachment points.

Maintenance

Inspect each individual component according to its own product-specific maintenance guidance before each use. Clean surface dirt with a water-dampened cloth, using a mild soap or detergent solution for more thorough cleaning. Wipe with a clean cloth and hang to dry away from excessive heat, steam, or sunlight. Complete a formal inspection using the NLG Inspection Checklist at intervals appropriate to frequency of use.
