Product Details

NLG GO Bungee Tool Lanyard

Lightweight bungee tool lanyard rated to 3kg, certified and serialised for tethering hand tools at height. At 55g it stays comfortable across a full shift without adding weight or drag, extends from 70cm to 120cm under load, and retracts clear when slack. Where uncertified bungee alternatives at a similar price carry no serial number, no CE or UKCA marking, and no traceable test certificate, this lanyard is dynamically load tested by a UKAS-accredited laboratory and carries a unique serial number on every unit for inspection logging.

Why Certification Matters Even for a 3kg Hand Tool Lanyard

A cheap unbranded bungee cord sold as a tool lanyard carries no serial number, no CE marking, and no documented test result, there is no way to verify it holds under dynamic load or to track it through an inspection routine. On sites with formal dropped object prevention requirements under CDM 2015, an unverifiable lanyard fails a compliance check, and any incident involving it creates a direct liability gap for the site manager and principal contractor. A serialised, CE and UKCA marked lanyard at a practical price point closes that gap without overspecifying for hand tools that will never approach the 5kg, 20kg, or 40kg loads of the heavier NLG range.

Key Features

Unique serial number and NLG ID scan tag: Every unit carries an individual serial number for inspection traceability. Scan the NLG ID tag with a smartphone to access the test certificate, installation instructions, and digital inspection log.
CE and UKCA marking, UKAS-accredited certification: Dynamically load tested at a 2:1 safety factor by a UKAS-accredited laboratory. CE and UKCA marking confirms compliance with UK requirements for dropped object prevention under the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
Lightweight anodised aluminium carabiner: Screw gate double-action lock prevents accidental release. At 55g total, the lanyard is light enough for all-day use on hand tool tethering tasks without discomfort.
Self-retracting bungee construction: Extends from 70cm to 120cm with very low stretch resistance, staying clear of the working area when not under load. Comfortable to wear through a full shift.
Rugged climbing cord loop: Cinches around captive handles, holes, and tool bodies quickly and securely. Suits all common hand tools without additional attachment hardware.
Contrast stitching: Woven into the bungee for faster visual pre-use inspection. Check the full length for signs of wear before each shift.

Who Is This For

Site operatives, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and M and E tradespeople working at height on UK construction and building projects who need a certified, traceable tool lanyard for hand tools up to 3kg. It is equally suited to site managers and procurement teams issuing lanyards to all site operatives as part of a formal dropped object prevention programme, where CE marking, serial numbering, and a documented test certificate are required to satisfy the site CDM construction phase plan and insurance requirements.

Typical Applications

Tethering spanners, adjustable wrenches, and socket sets to harness D-rings during elevated steelwork, structural bolting, and scaffold assembly.
Keeping screwdrivers, nut runners, and hand drive tools tethered to a harness anchor during elevated cable tray and containment installation.
Securing tape measures, inspection tools, and small hand instruments to belt or harness during working at height tasks on scaffold and elevated access equipment.
Attaching pliers, cutters, and strippers to an anchor point during elevated cable installation and electrical fitting at height.
Use as part of a site-wide issue of certified, serialised hand tool lanyards to all operatives, where the serial numbers support the site inspection log and dropped object prevention audit trail.
Use on building maintenance, refurbishment, and fit-out projects where operatives work at height with hand tools and require a certified, traceable tethering solution.

How to Use

Screw gate carabiner end, anchor attachment:

Step 1: Open the screw gate carabiner fully and pull back the gate.

Step 2: Clip onto the anchor point, harness D-ring, scaffold tube, or tether point.

Step 3: Close the gate and tighten the screw collar until firm. Confirm the gate cannot open with a firm tug.

Climbing cord loop end, tool attachment:

Step 4: Pass the climbing cord loop through the tool's captive handle, hole, or D-ring.

Step 5: Pass the other end of the lanyard through the cord loop and pull to create a tight cinch.

Step 6: Check both ends are firm with a tug before beginning work.

Common Mistakes

Exceeding the 3kg max load: Weigh the tool before attaching. A fully loaded tool bag or a heavy wrench with an extension can exceed 3kg. For tools above 3kg, use the 5kg bungee lanyard.
Not tightening the screw collar fully: A screw gate that is only finger-tight can unscrew during use. Always tighten the collar firmly after clipping to an anchor and check it has not loosened before starting each task.
Using for power tools: This lanyard is rated for hand tools up to 3kg. Power tools, drills, impact drivers, angle grinders, exceed this rating and require the 5kg or heavier bungee lanyard.
Skipping the serial number log: Where the site requires inspection records, note the serial number at issue and log pre-use checks. The NLG ID tag provides the digital route to do this without paper records.
Continuing after a drop event: Quarantine and inspect after any drop. Dynamic loading during a fall can damage internal fibres without visible external signs.

Safety

This lanyard is rated to a maximum working load of 3kg (6.6lbs) for hand tools only. It is not for fall arrest and must not be used in any personal safety application under the Work at Height Regulations 2005. Inspect the bungee, cord loop, carabiner gate, and screw collar before every use. Retire from service if any wear or damage is visible. Quarantine after any drop event pending a full inspection. Log the serial number and inspection status through the NLG ID tag to maintain a traceable inspection record.

Maintenance

Inspect the full bungee length for wear, cuts, and thinning before every shift. Check the contrast stitching along the length. Inspect the climbing cord loop at the cinch point. Check the screw gate carabiner for deformation, gate operation, and that the screw collar is present and threads correctly. Store away from direct sunlight, heat, and chemical contact. Log inspections via the NLG ID tag. Retire from service if any component shows signs of degradation or after any drop event.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between this and the standard NLG 5kg bungee lanyard?
A: The primary difference is the max load rating: this lanyard is rated to 3kg for hand tools, while the 5kg bungee covers light power tools including cordless drills and impact drivers. The 5kg lanyard features a 360° Rotobiner swivel carabiner specifically for rotating tools, this lanyard has a screw gate carabiner without a swivel, which is correct for non-rotating hand tools where anti-tangle is not required. At 55g this lanyard is also noticeably lighter than the 90g standard bungee, making it more comfortable for operatives wearing it all day across a range of hand tool tasks.

Q: Why does serial numbering matter on a 3kg hand tool lanyard?
A: On sites with a formal dropped object prevention programme, all tethering equipment typically needs to be traceable through an inspection record. A serial number on each lanyard allows procurement teams and safety officers to log issue dates, pre-use inspection results, and retirement from service against a specific unit. Without a serial number, there is no way to confirm a lanyard has been inspected, when it was inspected, or who used it. The NLG ID scan tag makes that record digital and instantly accessible on site.

Q: What is this lanyard not suitable for?
A: It must not be used with tools or equipment exceeding 3kg (6.6lbs). It is not for fall arrest and must never replace a rated personal safety lanyard or harness system under any circumstances. It is not suitable for power tools, drills, impact drivers, angle grinders, and similar tools that generate rotational force or weigh more than 3kg require the 5kg bungee lanyard with a 360° anti-tangle Rotobiner at minimum.

Q: What does "dynamically tested at 2:1 safety factor" mean for a 3kg lanyard?
A: Dynamic testing simulates the real scenario: a tool falling and the lanyard arresting it suddenly under load rather than a static weight simply being suspended. A 2:1 safety factor means the lanyard is tested to 6kg of dynamic load before the certification is awarded. The testing was conducted by Breathe Safety Testing Laboratory, a UKAS-accredited laboratory, which means the test methods and results are independently verified, not self-certified by the manufacturer.

Q: How does the screw gate carabiner work?
A: Open the screw gate fully and pull the gate back, then clip onto the anchor point and release. Close the gate and tighten the screw collar until it is firm. The collar must be fully tightened before beginning work, a gate that is only finger-tight can unscrew through vibration or repeated movement. Check the collar has not loosened when repositioning between tasks.

Q: How do I inspect this lanyard before each use?
A: Run your eye along the full length of the bungee and check the contrast stitching for any signs of wear, thinning, or damage. Check the climbing cord loop at the cinch point for cuts and fraying. Check the screw gate carabiner gate for deformation and confirm the screw collar threads correctly and tightens to a firm close. If any component fails the check, retire the lanyard from service. Log the inspection via the NLG ID scan tag.

Q: Are CE and UKCA markings valid for UK construction sites?
A: Yes. CE marking confirms the product meets European safety standards for dropped object prevention equipment. UKCA marking is the UK-specific conformity marking that replaced CE for the UK market and is required for construction site use under UK PPE Regulations. This lanyard carries both. NS 9611:2022+AC and ANSI/ISEA 121 compliance are additional international standards relevant for sites operating across UK and international jurisdictions.
