Troubleshooting
Carabiner gate is sticking or failing to close

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the lanyard, first inspect the tool attachment point for any sharp edges that might fray the webbing over time. Connect the carabiner to your tool's eyelet, ensuring the gate is fully closed and locked. Secure the opposite end to your wrist or tool belt using the drawstring cinch. Regarding care, regularly inspect the webbing for signs of wear, cuts, or chemical contamination. If the lanyard has been subjected to a significant drop impact, it should be removed from service immediately and replaced, as the internal fibers may have been compromised by the shock load. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the material.
