Learn How 3rd Party Testing High-Capacity Tool Lanyards Can Increase Safety


As the global leader in objects at heights safety, Ergodyne delivers the future of tool tethering and dropped object prevention. To us, tool lanyards are much more than an accessory. The Squids® High-Capacity Tool Lanyards have been stringently drop tested at a certified, third-party testing lab. Before testing, tool lanyards are conditioned for 2 hours in 4 different simulated work environments: dry, wet, hot, and cold. Each lanyard is then dropped at a 2:1 safety factor, a 1:1 safety factor and again at a 1:1 safety factor, requiring the lanyards to pass one 80lb drop, then two 40lb drops. To be considered a pass, the tool lanyard must prevent the testing weight from hitting the ground on all three drops. After careful inspection, the lanyards are photographed and a detailed test report is created to document the results of the testing, which can be found on each product page. Squids® 3139 Tool Lanyard Double-Locking Dual Carabiner with Swivel - 40lbs Squids® 3129 Tool Lanyard Double-Locking Single Carabiner with Swivel - 40lbs Whenever your job is at heights, prevent dropped objects.
