With workplace safety a top priority, KNIPEX’s range of Tethered Tools has become an essential choice for professionals who work at height, reducing the risk of accidents caused by falling tools.
Working at height remains one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities and major injuries in the UK, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). To help mitigate these risks, KNIPEX’s Tethered Tools are 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® (87 02 300 T) water pump pliers, which feature a push-button adjustment, self-clamping capabilities on pipes and nuts and specially hardened gripping teeth for strong performance. The range also includes the KNIPEX CoBolt® (71 02 200 T) compact bolt cutters, which easily slice through wire, bolts, nuts and nails and the X-Cut® (73 05 160 T) compact diagonal cutter (which needs 40% less force compared with standard diagonal cutters of the same length.
KNIPEX, always looking to innovate, has also introduced new comfort handles with KNIPEXtend, which allow its new TetheredTool Clips (00 62 10 T) to be easily attached to any pliers with these updated handles. Each clip features a metal fastening eyelet that connects to a tethered tool lanyard, securely preventing the pliers from falling during work at height. The clip is quick and simple to attach – no tools needed, just slide it into place.
These tools all attach effortlessly to the comprehensive KNIPEX Tethering System Set (00 50 04 T BK) which 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. This versatile system helps tradespeople prevent tool loss, protect workers below and minimise potential damage to surroundings.
This range of tools and accessories exemplify KNIPEX’s dedication to health and safety, offering a trusted option for those working at height who need secure, high-quality equipment. With their robust materials and user-friendly designs, KNIPEX tethered tools help professionals work safely and efficiently, reducing the risks associated with height-related tasks.
