NLG 50 Tool Tethering Kit - Bulk Tool-Side Attachment System

Who Is This For

The NLG 50 Tool Tethering Kit is used by site managers and procurement teams standardising tool-side attachment across a large fleet of hand tools, where the priority is bulk supply of certified attachment points rather than equipping a single individual with a complete personal system. It suits teams with existing anchor infrastructure who need to expand or restock their Step 1 and Step 2 tethering components, and organisations running large tool inventories across construction, facilities, or industrial 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 and Step 2 lanyards for an existing tethering programme.

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

• Providing a bulk starting supply before scaling up anchor point quantities separately across a larger workforce.

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 the Spin Tether, 360 D-Ring Loop, or Tether Choke for tools requiring rotation or lacking captive holes.

Step 2: Connect tethered tools to a lanyard, using the GO Bungee, Short Coil, or Heavy Duty Bungee lanyards included based on tool weight and behaviour.

Step 3: Confirm whether existing anchor points are already in place across the team. This kit includes 2 Adjustable Wristbands as a sample; additional anchors, such as Belt Loop or Velcro Anchors, may be needed to complete coverage across the full team.

Step 4: Use the Aero Pouch and Ascent Pouch for fixings and tool storage alongside the tethering setup.

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 exactly 50 complete tethering systems: the verifiable tool-side attachment point count is 45, and the kit includes 8 lanyards, not one per attachment point. Additional lanyards and anchors are required for full simultaneous coverage across a large team.

• Using the wrong tether type for the tool shape: match D-rings to captive holes, tether rings to shaped sections, tape to smooth bodies, and the Spin Tether or 360 Loop to rotating tools.

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

• Skipping pre-use inspection on individual components: each of the 14 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 50 simultaneously tethered tools; it provides 45 tool-side attachment points alongside 8 lanyards and 2 wristband anchors. Additional lanyards and anchors, correctly rated to individual tool weights, are required to complete a compliant system across a larger team or tool fleet.

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.
