Guardian Fall Protection 01280 AWL4-6 Adjustable Non-Shock Absorbing Lanyard from 4-Feet to 6-Feet

Save my butt when I was up on the roof of the garden shed. I don't always like the ones that have two arms, the fewer things coming on to me are off of me while I'm up on a roof, the better. Easy to use and very durable. Works great with my harness and makes me feel more secure.

I use this for work positioning (fall prevention) when climbing my amateur radio tower. I wrap it around the tower and clip it to the hip loops on my harness, so I can lean back and work with both hands. The quality seems good and I like that the length is adjustable. I usually adjust it to be almost as short as it goes for my tower. I also keep a fall arrest lanyard connected to the tower at all times for safety while I'm climbing and working. Users need to understand the difference between fall prevention and fall arrest. This strap is good for prevention but is not suitable for fall arrest in most cases as it does not absorb shock from a fall. It has been perfect for my needs.

good product

I was having a difficult time trying to find these specialized non shock absorbing lanyards at various industrial supply companies in my area/province. I searched Amazon on a whim and found these for half the price I could get them built. Also, the companies that could get them built were two weeks from date of order to be delivered.

I climb towers. I use these to hold me in position while working up there. It frees up both hands, and the strong construction not only is safe, but gives you a level of confidence. I have to trust my gear with my life. Though I have and use my fall protection gear, these positioning straps are built just as tough, and seem to be wearing well. This is my second pair. Not because they wore out, but because they didn't and I need a backup set.
