Lightweight bungee tool lanyard rated to 3kg with carabiners at both ends, for tethering hand tools at height without threading a cord loop. Where the single carabiner version uses a climbing cord choke cinch at the tool end, this version clips directly at both the anchor and the tool, open the gate, clip on, tighten, done. CE and UKCA marked, serial numbered, and dynamically load tested, it brings the same certified performance as the rest of the GO range with the speed of a two-carabiner setup.
Why Twin Carabiners Make Attachment Faster in Practice
A cord loop choke cinch is reliable but takes a moment to thread, position, and pull tight, particularly with heavy gloves and on tools with unconventional shapes. On a busy site where an operative is moving between positions, removing a tool from one anchor and re-attaching it elsewhere, that extra step gets skipped. A carabiner at the tool end clips to a D-ring or attachment point in one motion, locks with a quarter turn of the collar, and comes off just as quickly when it needs to. For operatives who use a D-ring equipped tool daily, the twin carabiner setup removes the one friction point that makes tethering feel like extra work.
Key Features
-
Dual anodised aluminium carabiners: One at each end. Both open, clip, and lock by tightening the screw collar. No cord loop threading or cinch adjustment required at the tool end.
-
High-performance locking gate: Each gate requires a deliberate action to open and cannot be knocked open accidentally during use. Tightening the screw collar adds a secondary lock against unintentional release.
-
CE and UKCA marking, third-party certified: Dynamically load tested at a 2:1 safety factor. Carries CE and UKCA marking for UK site compliance. Serial numbered for inspection traceability.
-
Self-retracting bungee construction: Extends from 70cm to 120cm with very low stretch resistance. Stays clear of the working area when not under load and comfortable across a full shift at 80g.
-
NLG ID scan tag: Scan with a smartphone to access the test certificate, installation instructions, and digital inspection log for each individual serialised unit.
-
Contrast stitching: Woven into the bungee for pre-use visual inspection of wear and condition along the full length.

Who Is This For
Site operatives, electricians, plumbers, and building trades working at height who regularly use hand tools fitted with a factory D-ring or clip-compatible attachment point. The twin carabiner setup is particularly suited to operatives who move frequently between positions and need to detach and re-tether a tool quickly at a new anchor point. It is also used by site managers building out tool tethering kits for operatives where all tools in the kit are already D-ring equipped, and by procurement teams specifying a consistent, fast-attach lanyard for multi-tool setups where operatives may carry two or more lanyards simultaneously.
Typical Applications
-
Clipping a spanner, wrench, or socket set with a factory D-ring directly to a harness anchor without threading a cord loop.
-
Fast attachment and detachment of hand tools when moving between working positions on scaffold or elevated access equipment, where re-tethering at the new position needs to be quick enough that operatives actually do it.
-
Running two or more lanyards simultaneously from one operative, one clipped to a tool on each side, where the lightweight aluminium carabiners keep total lanyard weight practical.
-
Tethering electricians' tools, cable cutters, and fitting equipment on elevated cable tray and containment work where tools have clip-point attachment.
-
Use on building maintenance and refurbishment projects where operatives carry a standard kit of D-ring equipped hand tools and need a simple, repeatable tethering method for each one.
-
Part of a site-wide tool tethering issue where the project specification includes a mix of single carabiner lanyards for cord-cinch tools and twin carabiner lanyards for D-ring tools.
How to Use
Anchor end:
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 rail.
Step 3: Close the gate and tighten the screw collar until firm. Confirm with a tug.
Tool end:
Step 4: Open the second screw gate carabiner fully and pull back the gate.
Step 5: Clip onto the tool D-ring or clip attachment point.
Step 6: Close the gate and tighten the screw collar until firm. Tug both ends to confirm both carabiners are locked before beginning work.
Note: Both screw collars must be tightened after clipping. A collar that is only finger-tight can unscrew through vibration. Check both collars have not loosened when repositioning between tasks.
Common Mistakes
-
Using for tools without D-rings: The twin carabiner version requires a D-ring or clip-compatible attachment point at the tool end. Tools with only a captive hole or handle need the single carabiner version with climbing cord loop instead. Forcing a carabiner around an awkward tool body is not a safe substitute.
-
Leaving screw collars finger-tight: Both collars must be tightened firmly after every clip. On a vibrating tool or during repeated repositioning, a loose collar can unscrew.
-
Exceeding the 3kg max load: Weigh the tool before attaching, including any accessories or batteries. For tools above 3kg, use the 5kg bungee lanyard.
-
Clipping to an unrated point: Both the anchor point and the tool attachment point must be rated to accept the dynamic load. Do not clip to improvised loops, cable ties, or unrated fittings.
-
Skipping the inspection: Check both carabiners, the bungee length, and the contrast stitching before every shift. Log via the NLG ID tag.
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. Both screw gate collars must be tightened firmly after every clip. Inspect both carabiners, the bungee, and contrast stitching before every use. Quarantine after any drop event pending a full inspection. Tools exceeding 3kg require a higher-rated lanyard. Log the serial number and inspection status via the NLG ID tag to support the site inspection record.
Maintenance
Inspect both carabiners for gate operation, screw collar function, and any deformation before every shift. Check the bungee along its full length and look at the contrast stitching for wear or thinning. Store away from direct sunlight, heat, and chemical contact. If either carabiner shows deformation, gate stiffness, or collar damage, retire the lanyard. Log inspections via the NLG ID tag. Retire after any drop event pending inspection by a competent person.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the practical difference between this and the single carabiner GO lanyard?
A: The single carabiner version (NLG101518) has a carabiner at the anchor end and a climbing cord choke cinch at the tool end. The cord loop threads through a captive hole or around a handle and cinches tight. This twin carabiner version has a carabiner at both ends, so it clips directly to a D-ring or clip point on the tool rather than threading a loop. For tools with a factory-fitted D-ring, the twin version is faster to attach and remove. For tools that only have a captive hole or handle, the single cord loop version is the correct choice.
Q: My tools have D-rings. Is this version better for me than the cord loop version?
A: Yes, for D-ring equipped tools the twin carabiner version is the straightforward choice. Clip to the anchor, clip to the tool D-ring, tighten both collars, start work. When you move to a new position, reverse the process in seconds. The cord loop version requires threading and cinching each time, which is more time-consuming and adds a step where compliance can break down in practice.
Q: What is this lanyard not suitable for?
A: It is not suitable for tools exceeding 3kg (6.6lbs) or for power tools. It is not for fall arrest and must not replace any rated personal safety lanyard. It is also not the right choice for tools that have only a captive hole or handle with no D-ring, for those tools, the single carabiner version with cord loop is correct. Do not clip either carabiner to an improvised or unrated attachment point on the tool.
Q: Can I run two lanyards at once for two tools?
A: Yes. The lightweight aluminium carabiners at both ends make it practical to wear two lanyards simultaneously, one per tool, without creating excessive weight or bulk. The total weight of two GO twin carabiner lanyards is 160g, which adds negligible load to the operative. Clip each lanyard to a separate rated anchor point and to its respective tool before beginning work.
Q: How does the screw gate carabiner lock?
A: Clip the open carabiner onto the attachment point, close the gate, and rotate the knurled collar clockwise until it is firm against the gate. The gate cannot open without first unscrewing the collar. After clipping at both ends, tug each carabiner to confirm both collars are tightened. Check the collars have not worked loose when repositioning between tasks.
Q: How do I inspect this lanyard?
A: Before each shift, inspect both carabiners for deformation and confirm each gate opens cleanly, closes fully, and the collar threads correctly. Check the bungee along its full length for thinning, cuts, and wear, and look at the contrast stitching for any sign of deterioration. If either carabiner fails the check or the bungee shows damage, retire from service. Log the inspection via the NLG ID scan tag.
Q: What safety standards does this carry?
A: The lanyard carries CE and UKCA marking, ANSI/ISEA 121-2023 compliance, and NS 9611:2022+AC compliance. It is dynamically load tested at a 2:1 safety factor by a third-party laboratory. Every unit has a unique serial number for inspection traceability and an NLG ID scan tag for digital logging.
