NLG Drill Harness Kit solves one of the most persistent problems in tool tethering: how to create a secure attachment point on a cordless drill. Drills have no captive hole, an irregular grip shape, and a detachable battery pack that creates its own drop risk on impact, making them genuinely difficult to tether with standard tether rings or D-rings. This kit removes that problem entirely with four matched components: the Drill Harness fits directly onto the drill body, a Bungee Tool Lanyard connects it to an anchor point, a BiLock Velcro Anchor mounts to belt, harness, or rail, and an AirPark rated to 10kg static load lets the drill be parked securely mid-task without disconnecting the tether.
How a purpose-built harness solves the drill tethering problem
A drill's irregular body shape and lack of a captive hole means standard tether rings and D-rings have nothing secure to attach to, and improvised wraps around the tool body risk slipping or interfering with the trigger and grip. The NLG Drill Harness is shaped specifically to fit around a drill body, creating a stable attachment point without obstructing normal use. Paired with the AirPark, rated to 10kg static load, the drill can also be parked hands-free mid-task, addressing the common moment when a technician sets a drill down on a surface where it could be knocked or fall.
Key Features
-
NLG Drill Harness: shaped specifically to fit a cordless drill body, creating a secure tether point without obstructing grip or trigger access
-
Bungee Tool Lanyard: elastic connection between the drill harness and the anchor point, absorbing shock on arrest
-
BiLock Velcro Anchor: mounts to belt, harness, or rail for flexible positioning of the anchor point
-
NLG AirPark, 10kg static load rated: allows the drill to be parked securely mid-task without disconnecting the tether

Who Is This For
The NLG Drill Harness Kit is used by electricians, carpenters, maintenance engineers, and any trade using a cordless drill at height where standard tether rings or D-rings offer no secure attachment point. It suits individuals equipping themselves for the first time with a proper drill tethering solution, as well as site managers standardising drill tethering across a team using a single, matched kit rather than improvised solutions.
Typical Applications
-
Tethering a cordless drill during electrical, carpentry, or maintenance tasks carried out at height.
-
Parking a drill securely mid-task on a MEWP platform or scaffold using the AirPark, without disconnecting the tether.
-
Equipping a technician with a complete drill tethering solution before their first at-height task involving power tools.
-
Standardising drill tethering across a team using a single matched kit rather than mixed or improvised attachment methods.
How to Use
Step 1: Fit the Drill Harness around the drill body, ensuring it is secure and does not interfere with the trigger or grip.
Step 2: Attach the Bungee Tool Lanyard between the Drill Harness and the anchor point.
Step 3: Mount the BiLock Velcro Anchor to a belt, harness, or rail at a suitable working position.
Step 4: Use the AirPark to park the drill securely mid-task when it needs to be set down without disconnecting the tether.
Step 5: Log inspection of each NLG ID enabled component before first use and at each subsequent formal inspection interval.
Common Mistakes
-
Fitting the Drill Harness too loosely: a loose harness can shift during use and compromise the secure attachment point. Confirm a snug fit before starting work.
-
Exceeding the AirPark's 10kg rating: the AirPark is rated to 10kg static load. Do not use it to park tools exceeding this weight.
-
Skipping the BiLock Velcro Anchor and improvising an anchor point instead: an uncertified anchor point undermines the whole system, even if the harness and lanyard are correctly fitted.
-
Skipping pre-use inspection on individual components: each of the 4 products must be inspected according to its own product datasheet before use.
Safety
The AirPark is rated to 10kg (22lbs) static load. The Drill Harness, Bungee Tool Lanyard, and BiLock Velcro Anchor each carry their own individual load ratings detailed on their respective product datasheets. There is no single kit-level load rating covering every item. Always confirm the drill's actual weight, including battery, is within the rating of every component in the chain. This kit does not include personal fall arrest, restraint, or work positioning equipment.
Maintenance
Inspect the Drill Harness fit and stitching, the Bungee Tool Lanyard's webbing and elastic core, the BiLock Velcro Anchor's Velcro engagement, and the AirPark's hook and static load marking 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is a drill harder to tether than most hand tools?
A: A cordless drill has no captive hole, an irregular grip shape, and a detachable battery pack that creates its own drop risk on impact. Standard tether rings and D-rings designed for tools with a hole or shaped mid-section have nothing secure to attach to on a drill, which is why a purpose-built harness is needed.
Q: What exactly is included in the Drill Harness Kit?
A: The kit includes the NLG Drill Harness, which fits directly onto the drill body, a Bungee Tool Lanyard to connect the harness to an anchor point, a BiLock Velcro Anchor for belt, harness, or rail mounting, and an AirPark rated to 10kg static load for parking the drill mid-task.
Q: What is the AirPark used for?
A: The AirPark lets the drill be parked securely mid-task, such as when a technician needs both hands free briefly, without disconnecting the tether from the drill. It is rated to 10kg static load.
Q: What is this kit NOT suitable for?
A: This kit is not suitable for corded power tools or any tool exceeding the AirPark's 10kg static load rating. It does not include personal fall arrest, restraint, or work positioning equipment.
Q: Can this kit be used with other power tools besides a drill?
A: The Drill Harness is shaped specifically for a cordless drill body. Other similarly shaped power tools may fit, but the harness is not guaranteed to provide a secure attachment on tools with significantly different body shapes. Always confirm a secure, snug fit before use.
Q: How should the components in this kit be maintained and inspected?
A: Inspect the Drill Harness fit and stitching, the lanyard's webbing and elastic core, the BiLock Anchor's Velcro engagement, and the AirPark's hook and load marking before each use. Clean with a water-dampened cloth and mild soap solution, then air dry away from heat and sunlight. Complete formal inspections using the NLG Inspection Checklist.
