Ferno Tear Away Tool Strop Lanyard, Webbing and Elasticised
Ferno Tear Away Tool Strop Lanyard, Webbing and Elasticised
A tool tether for work at height that stops a dropped tool becoming a falling object. The tear away safety strap is the point of difference: instead of arresting the tool dead, it absorbs the shock load progressively.
The strap begins to tear when approximately 30 kg or greater of force is applied, which is enough to catch a chainsaw or a heavy hand tool without loading the worker or the attachment point with the full arrest force. Three configurations are available: webbing at 900 mm and 1200 mm, and an elasticised 1200 mm version that shortens the effective length of the strop while it is not under load.
Tool strops sit alongside the rest of the dropped object range in anchor slings and straps. If you are tethering to a harness rather than a structure, pair the strop with a rated connection point and check the harness and fall protection range.

What does the tear away strap do?
The safety strap begins to tear when roughly 30 kg or more of force is applied, absorbing the shock load of a dropped or snagged tool instead of transmitting it straight to the worker or the anchor.
Which length should I choose?
The 900 mm strop suits close work where a shorter drop is wanted. The 1200 mm gives more reach. The elasticised 1200 mm retracts when slack so the strop stays out of the way between uses.
Is a tool strop the same as a fall arrest lanyard?
No. Tool strops are dropped object prevention only. They are not rated for personal fall arrest and must never be used to connect a person to an anchor.
