NLG Small Hand Tool Tethering Kit is a complete, four-part tethering system for pliers, screwdrivers, and similar small hand tools, rated to 1kg. It covers all three tethering steps in a single, compact purchase: a Small D-Ring and Tether Tape create the attachment point on the tool, a Short Coil Tool Lanyard with Quick Clip connects it to an anchor, and an Adjustable Wristband provides that anchor without needing a belt or harness. Rated to 1kg, this kit is built for exactly the class of tool that has no captive hole and is otherwise easy to overlook in a wider tethering programme.
A complete system for the tools that get missed
Small hand tools such as pliers and screwdrivers are among the most commonly used items on any site, yet they are also among the easiest to leave untethered, since they lack an obvious attachment point and are often reached for quickly between other tasks. This kit removes that gap with a fully matched system: Tether Tape and a Small D-Ring create a secure attachment point on the tool itself, a coiled lanyard keeps the connection tidy and out of the way during use, and a wrist-mounted anchor means the system works even for an operative not wearing a tool belt.

Who Is This For
The NLG Small Hand Tool Tethering Kit is used by electricians, general site operatives, and maintenance engineers who need to tether pliers, screwdrivers, and similar small hand tools that lack an obvious captive hole or attachment point. It suits individuals equipping themselves for the first time with a complete small tool tethering solution, and operatives who are not wearing a tool belt but still need a certified anchor point via the wrist.
Typical Applications
-
Tethering pliers, screwdrivers, or similar small hand tools during electrical, maintenance, or general site tasks at height.
-
Fitting a tether point to smooth-handled tools using Tether Tape where no captive hole exists.
-
Providing a wrist-mounted anchor for operatives working without a tool belt or harness.
-
Equipping a new operative with a complete, simple tethering system before their first at-height task involving small tools.
How to Use
Step 1: Wrap the Tether Tape around the tool handle to create a secure base for the attachment point.
Step 2: Fit the Small D-Ring over the taped section to create the tool-side attachment point.
Step 3: Attach the Short Coil Tool Lanyard between the D-Ring and the Adjustable Wristband, using the Quick Clip for fast connection.
Step 4: Fit the Adjustable Wristband securely to the wrist before beginning work.
Step 5: Log inspection of each NLG ID enabled component before first use and at each subsequent formal inspection interval.
Common Mistakes
-
Wrapping the Tether Tape too loosely: a loose base allows the D-Ring to shift or slip during use.
-
Exceeding the 1kg rating: this kit is rated to 1kg. Confirm the actual weight of the tool being tethered is within this limit.
-
Fitting the wristband too loosely: a loose wristband can shift position and reduce the reliability of the anchor point during use.
-
Skipping pre-use inspection on individual components: each of the 4 products must be inspected according to its own product datasheet before use.
Safety
This kit is rated to a maximum load of 1kg (2.2lbs). Always confirm the actual weight of the tool being tethered is within this rating before use. The Adjustable Wristband must be checked for secure fit before each use. This kit does not include personal fall arrest, restraint, or work positioning equipment.
Maintenance
Inspect the Tether Tape for wear or loosening, the Small D-Ring for deformation, the Short Coil Lanyard's coil recovery and Quick Clip function, and the Adjustable Wristband's Velcro engagement 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.
