Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Tool Lanyard (FP46) is designed for workers who need to secure tools at height, preventing accidental drops and improving site safety. Its coiled design keeps the lanyard compact, minimizing snagging risks. A key caveat is its limited Safe Working Load (SWL) of 0.5kg, meaning it's suitable for lighter tools only.

Troubleshooting
Carabiner is stiff or difficult to open/close.
Check for any debris or dirt inside the carabiner mechanism. Gently clean with a soft brush and lubricate with a light, non-corrosive lubricant if necessary, ensuring it doesn't affect the material.
Lanyard does not retract fully.
Ensure the lanyard is not twisted or caught on anything. Check if the attached tool is too heavy or if there is an obstruction within the coiled section.
Coil seems stretched out and no longer compact.
This may indicate the lanyard has been subjected to excessive force or has been used beyond its intended capacity. Inspect for damage; if compromised, it should be retired from service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: To set up the Portwest Tool Lanyard, attach one end of the carabiner to a secure anchor point on your harness or work station. Attach the other end of the lanyard to the tool you wish to secure, ensuring it is connected via a suitable loop or attachment point on the tool itself. Always check that the combined weight of the tool and any attachments does not exceed the 0.5kg Safe Working Load.
Compatibility: This lanyard is compatible with tools weighing up to 0.5kg that have an attachment point, such as a hole in the handle or a D-ring. The steel rope core and PVC coating offer good resistance to general workplace conditions.
Care: Regularly inspect the lanyard for any signs of wear, such as cuts, fraying, or damage to the carabiner or coating. Clean the lanyard with a damp cloth if necessary; avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
