TLS15 ToolGrip Elastic Tool Tether, 15 lbs, 11-Pack
The Frontline TLS15 is the everyday tool tether: a single-leg elastic that rides at 35.8 in relaxed and stretches to 53.9 in when you reach, with a steel turn lock carabiner making the anchor-side connection.
The 0.7 in polyester webbing is sewn with high-tenacity polyester thread and carries a 15 lb max capacity; hardware is alloy steel in a white zinc plated finish. ANSI/ISEA 121-2018 dropped object prevention.
Who Needs This Product
This product is dropped-object prevention equipment from the Frontline ToolGrip line. Crews working at height tether their tools so a slip never becomes a struck-by incident below. ToolGrip products are rated for tools only - personal fall protection is a separate system.

Typical Applications
How to Use the TLS15
Follow the manufacturer's manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect. Check elastic webbing, stitching, and the carabiner lock before each use.
- Anchor the carabiner. Turn-lock it to a belt D-ring, ACTLDR anchor, or structure point per the manual.
- Connect the tool. Attach the tether end to the tool attachment point.
- Confirm the lock. Verify the turn lock gate is fully closed.
- Tug test. Verify before working at height.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before each use. Pull the equipment from service for any of the conditions below.
- Webbing and elastic: cuts, fraying, abrasion, burns, or loss of elasticity.
- Stitching: broken, pulled, or abraded threads.
- Hardware: deformation, cracks, corrosion, or gates and locks that fail to close.
- Attachment points: loose tape bonds, worn loops, or damaged D-rings.
- Markings: labels must be present and legible.
Remove from service immediately if any inspection point fails or after the tether arrests a dropped tool with visible damage. ToolGrip products are tool tethering equipment - never use them for personal fall protection.
