KNIPEX’s Tethered Tools have been designed to keep tools secure and prevent accidental drops that could cause injury or damage below by including a tether attachment point so each tool can be safely attached to the user.
Among the most popular tools in the tethered range are the KNIPEX Cobra® water pump pliers, which feature a push-button adjustment, self-clamping capabilities on pipes and nuts and specially hardened gripping teeth.
The range also includes the KNIPEX CoBolt® compact bolt cutters, designed to slice through wire, bolts, nuts and nails and the X-Cut® compact diagonal cutter, which the company says needs 40% less force compared with standard diagonal cutters of the same length.
Comfort handles
KNIPEX has also recently introduced new comfort handles with KNIPEXtend, which allow its new TetheredTool Clips to be attached to any pliers with these updated handles. Each clip features a metal fastening eyelet that connects to a tethered tool lanyard, preventing the pliers from falling during work at height.
These tools all attach to the KNIPEX Tethering System Set which, according to the company, has been put through multiple rigorous drop tests and can safely hold tools up to 1.5 kg. The set includes a lanyard, three adapter straps and two high-strength carabiners with screw locks, offering flexible attachment options to meet different on-site needs.
