Who Needs This Product
A dorsal D-ring extender moves the connection point from between your shoulder blades to over your shoulder, where you can actually reach it. Crews connecting and disconnecting SRLs all day, and workers pairing with tie-back devices, run extenders so hookups are one-handed instead of a two-person job. EdgeCore versions carry leading-edge rated construction.
