TLS30 ToolGrip Elastic Tool Tether, 30 lbs, 3-Pack
When the tool is a rotary hammer instead of a wrench, the Frontline TLS30 carries the load: a 30 lb capacity single-leg elastic tether that rides at 3 ft relaxed and stretches to 5 ft in use.
The 1 in polyester webbing is sewn with high-tenacity polyester thread, and a self-locking aluminum carabiner makes the anchor-side connection - heavy capacity without heavy hardware. 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.

Aluminum gate locks automatically on closure.
Wide 1 in webbing
More web, more stitch area, more margin.

Compliance Standards
ANSI/ISEA 121-2018
American National Standard for dropped object prevention solutions - the consensus standard for tool tethering equipment.
OSHA 1926.759
Falling object protection requirements in steel erection; tethering supports compliance.
OSHA General Duty Clause
Dropped-tool struck-by incidents are routinely cited under 5(a)(1); tethering is the recognized control.
Typical Applications
How to Use the TLS30
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 to structure. For tools near the top of the rating, anchor the carabiner to structure rather than your body, per the manual.
- Connect the tool. Attach the tether end to the tool attachment point.
- Confirm the lock. Verify the self-locking 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.
