Product Overview
Working at height presents a unique set of challenges, the most significant of which is the risk of dropped objects. The FP34 Tool Lanyard is a vital safety component designed to eliminate the hazard of falling tools, which can cause serious injury to personnel or damage to property below. This lightweight accessory ensures that your essential tools remain tethered to your person or a secure anchor point at all times, providing an essential layer of protection in any elevated environment.
Key Features
- Integrated Carabiner: Provides a swift and secure connection to the user's person or tool belt, ensuring the lanyard remains attached even under heavy movement.
- Elasticated Drawstring: Offers versatility in how tools are secured, allowing for a snug fit around various tool handles or wrist attachments for a customisable tethering solution.
- 2kg Safe Working Load: Specifically rated to safely manage tools up to this capacity, giving you technical confidence when handling standard hand tools in precarious positions.
- Polyester Construction: Utilises a durable synthetic fabric that is resistant to the rigours of industrial environments while remaining flexible for ease of use.
Design & Performance
Constructed from high-quality polyester, this tool lanyard is engineered for resilience without adding unnecessary bulk to your gear. The choice of material ensures the lanyard is both sturdy and lightweight, which is crucial for workers who already carry a significant amount of equipment. In terms of performance, the lanyard acts as a critical fail-safe; should a tool slip from your grip, the elasticated cord helps to absorb the initial shock of the drop, preventing the tool from becoming a dangerous projectile. It is a straightforward, effective solution for maintaining a safe and professional workspace at height.
Why No Customisation?
This item is categorised as height safety and fall protection equipment. As a piece of safety gear designed to prevent accidents and protect lives, we do not offer customisation such as embroidery or printing on this specific product. Any modification to the structural integrity of the lanyard, or the addition of foreign materials and heat-pressed elements, could potentially interfere with its performance or compromise the strength of the polyester webbing. Our priority is your safety on-site, and keeping this item in its original, tested condition is essential for compliance and protection.
Use Cases
The FP34 is indispensable for scaffolders, roofers, and telecommunications engineers. Whether you are working on a construction site, a wind turbine, or performing maintenance on high-rise structures, this lanyard should be a standard part of your personal protective equipment (PPE) setup to protect those working on the ground beneath you.

Practical Advice
When using this tool lanyard, ensure that the anchor point you choose—whether it is your wrist, a harness D-ring, or a tool belt—is capable of supporting the dynamic force of the tool if it falls. We recommend regularly checking that the carabiner gate is fully closed and that the drawstring is tightened securely before commencing work at height to ensure maximum security.
Caring for your product
To ensure the continued performance and safety of your tool lanyard, it is important to keep it clean and free from contaminants. Accumulated dirt, grease, or grit can act as an abrasive on the polyester fibres, potentially weakening the material over time. We recommend wiping the lanyard with a damp cloth and mild detergent if it becomes soiled on the job.
Regular inspection is absolutely critical for all height safety equipment. Before every use, examine the lanyard for any signs of fraying, cuts, or damage to the stitching. If any wear is detected, the item should be replaced immediately. Avoid exposing the lanyard to harsh chemicals or high heat sources, as this can degrade the synthetic fibres and compromise the rated safe working load.
