Besides the safety aspect, it only has to keep your $$$ tool from dropping to concrete one time to pay for itself.

Thanks for being safety first and sharing. My oldest son lost part of his left leg at his work 2 months ago. He’s 28 and strong so we know he’s going to overcome this. Just thanking the lord he’s alive. His company was at fault because they just patch equipment instead of fixing it correctly. They’re like a lot of companies, production is most important not safety. So thanks for sharing you’re safety first Vince.

Excellent video Vince. Your right on target. I think there is limit to how much PPE equipment is needed,. Because some times to much PPE gear interferes with the production of the work. But I do not disagree with anything it this video. Thanks here the video sir.

Nicely done Vince. Safety doesn't get discussed at this level enough, and it doesn't matter whether you are in the trades or a DIYer.

coming from a standby rescue and safety worker, i approve of this message😂. on a more serious note, think about others health and safety alongside your own, i have had a scaffold hammer dropped from 20ft onto my hard hat. it isn’t always you you have to worry about, but others and the consequences you may cause on them.

We are all thankful the belt & pants held up for the test! ... Could have been quite the surprise tool exposure!

Was doing this for years at S&S Structures being up to 80 ft off the ground but i made my own out of paracord minus the fancy carabiner used a heavy duty one

Safety is everyone's responsibility. Unfortunately many places ignore it and new employees are afraid to speak up. When I was younger I worked for a moving company and they had a job moving office furniture in a bank and to move a very large safe. I spoke up and said moving safes is a speciality because of the weight and I can't help. They said OK. There are companies who specialize in moving safes, and industrial equipment. It's like people who over extend on the height of a ladder.

Definitely saving this to watch later, in the process of looking at the best options for Lanyards so this is an awesome timing for this video. Thanks for doing what you do

It's about time. Thanks Vince. I watch you regularly. I work I the motion picture industry, 43 years and have seen a lot of on the job injuries. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

I'm new to this channel and am happy it popped up on my recommendations. I love that Vince covers so many different things in his videos. Keep up the great work Vince.

The three main tool manufacturers should make these en mass and include them in every tool. For example if you but an impact and drill/driver combination then one should be included in the box. Nice video Vince. 👍👍

Thank you Vince, I'm with you on Safety First... that safety cords going into my dewalt tool assembly. As well as my networking tools bag.

I do think this lanyard will make safety better especially at heights

Great reminder, Vince! I make furniture, but safety is so important.

England here. for work i have like 5-6 lanyards on me : hammer, impact drill, scaffold hex spanner, knife and hammer drill. After a day of work you're tired with all those around you plus hard hat, glasses, gloves, tool belt chin strap always on. add a dust mask when cutting or drilling and you're going crazy

Great video. Safety is important. Most products like that can do more than 10lbs. Normally the limit is set lower because of the weight shift. If it falls when you're on something like a ladder, the weight shift can cause you to fall or move the ladder off balance. Both cases can be worse than the tool dropping and result in the operator getting killed. I wish we had these at Dish Network when I worked there. They use the m18 fuel hammer drill and impact driver, and with all the tech work the happens on ladders, that would be a great item for them to add.

I thought this was going to be a video about the Milwaukee Beer Bottle Opener #48-22-2000. Good video guys. Safety is paramount.

I love the idea of using a lanyard on tools, tool manufacturers should start including them in the box already attached to the tool, safety is everything when using tools anywhere

I think I want it just as a key thing to keep my keys with me 20 years ago I would say that if a tool fell it was probably a accident but with the availability of safety equipment it's just negligence to not have it on tools even if you don't need it just have it on site to keep everyone safe

Couldn’t agree more Vince safety is definitely #1

When I was about 14, I was working for my dad and he was working on this huge mansion. He had scaffolding 360° around the house, 4 lifts high. I was picking up broken block, hardened mortar, and hardened stucco from underneath the scaffolding where the entrance to the house is, and a huge piece of block feel right onto my head. Good thing I was wearing a hard hat. I don't recall how high up it fell from, since it was 20 years ago, but it was high enough to send me for a loop.

I've never used the Milwaukee ones but I do use tool lanyards all the time, I install special purpose elevators and work up to 300 ft. off the ground. as for not tying anything over 5lbs off to yourself... I've tyed a 45 lb mag drill to myself while standing on 2 3in wide angle iron before. didn't pull me down. but I could just be lucky

I found a great little kit “Retracting tool tether” by stronghold, comes with a few locked in links that will hold wrenches and some other decently smaller tools. Granted I bought it on clearance as tethering is a big part of my industry however I have much different work environments, so for us it’s more about personal comfort and avoiding the hassle of having a tool sent back up after we’ve dropped it.

If you want to attach the lanyard to something larger than the carabiner is capable of go buy a rebar hook on amazon for $20. They’re rated for 5klbs for personal fall protection. I use a rebar hook for my harness when working in lifts because it’s extremely convenient and still safe.

I’ve had a hammer fall from three stories high and it landed two feel from me. I had just moved from where it landed. Working high is no joke.

Yep I definitely own that lanyard

Paracord with a mountain climbing carabiner. Together they will be less bulky, stronger, the carabiner will have a larger mouth.

Safety first! Keeps the crew going to work instead of going to the hospital.

I just got one of these they are the shit! First one to have it on the job site.. I work on a scissor lift so this is a life saver... For both my tools and the people below.

Cool vid Vince, also for making safety a priority 😊 I’m assuming it’s possible to change out the carabiner/karabiner (however you spell it, lol) to a bigger “mouth” opening; like I have on some other styles of this tool lanyard. Had same issue of not being able to attach on the surfaces I wanted to. Just another option. Cheers✌🏼

Your intuition was right adjusting that carabiner to be in a locked position. 'Biners lose strength to dynamic forces when the gate is open. Handguard would have been suitable too. Nice vid, stay safe

Safety first and always!! Keep a spare kit in the truck, plus a quick boo boo kit in my pocket at all times!! You know the saying "I would rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it." Construction is very physically demanding and dangerous!! As always, thank you Vince and Crew, have a good day!! P.S. I'm loving the lanyard bro, gonna get me one this Friday!!

safety and the correct way on using tools the proper tool for the job and what tool brand makes the better tools

Will save ur tool from a hard crash and customers floor looks like great idea

Just got 2 of these at Northern Tool, great quality

The lanyards are nice, I just wish they had a more secure mounting point on the tool. I use them all the time as I work from boom lifts 80 to 100ft in the air

Good vid Vince. Safety First for sure. I do like that tool lanyard as long as you keep it within the specs it was designed for. Anything heavier than 5 pounds could definitely put a hurting on you if you had it attached to your belt and it accidentally fell throwing you off balance. Scary stuff. Thanks for sharing a well thought out safety vid. Cheers!

I need these I dropped my dewalt impact today bounced off a rock and into 12in deep standing water so ya had to make a trip to the big orange box

Video shared on all my social media's

Great review. As an electrician I could really use one. Thanks brother

If you save a 300 bick drill from hitting the ground you saved the money.... if you stopped one from hitting sombody on the skull you saved a life.... it is simple

Just keep in mind where the tool is gonna reach the end of it's lanyard as well. Perhaps you are using a sharp drill bit and you see that if you dropped the drill then at the bottom of the fall it could swing back toward you and run the drill bit into your leg. Then you'd want to consider fastening it to a different anchor point that wouldn't allow that to happen. As with all things safety, accident prevention is largely dependant on imagining what incident could happen and making choices to avoid it. Generally the more accident-minded people have less accidents.

Can u do a review on either the norske 40 piece or the 42 piece bits sets just bought one for the first time and never heard of them I'm a huge tool guy and am in the industry and saw someone I know with one of the sets and it cought my interest it seems too me like it's one of the most full bit sets I've seen in a while with what they include in it and from the feeling and look of them they seemed very high quality.

I like being safe! Great video

Well said sir. Well said

It needs a bigger opening so it will actually be used more often. I wonder if a sort of automatic retraction system can be used while still having a bungee effect and be easy to pull out and reach your work. Having a hanging cord dangle from a worker as he may be near moving equipment is another serious hazard. That's why lose clothing, necklaces, and long hair are frowned upon near machinery.

We had a 7 lb wrench take a 100ft dive to the aluminum roof below. Straight through and blasted a florescent light fixture off the roof.... its an accident but it negligence. This incident has sparked a major budget increase in fall protection saftey

Great video Vince

If the anchor point diameter is larger that the carabiner, just wrap the lanyard around the anchor point and clip the carabiner on the lanyard strap itself like a leash. We've used hefty fluorescent (sticks out) Bungee Nylon dog leashes rated for large dogs and a climbing rated carabiner. The shock load of a lunging 70lb mastiff is greater than the 30lb shock load of a 5 lb tool dropped from a length of 3 feet. Sure saved a lot of lives. Just make sure you don't have anything greater than 5lbs. It can throw you off balance and boom career/business/LIFE is over... Safety First!

Vince I say sometimes besides carpentry I also work for the town Sanitation and I always tell the summer help they're usually young kids who r just getting a job for the summer so I tell them if you hear the truck's horn that means a car's coming and I also tell them to keep the garbage bags away from your body because everything and anything can be in the bag from broken glass 2 needles I always say Keep Your Head on a swivel because cars always will try to get around the truck and you never know what's inside the bags the only hero is it a deli so don't try to be one

I believe Milwaukee makes accessories for those holes behind the drills

Vince, great info. 🙏

I’m an early adoptor of tethering ! Say it loud Brother !

When I worked in maintenance, the other guys made fun of me for always wearing safety glasses. One day an angle grinder blade exploded, and pieces got lodged in the wooden shed 30 feet away. They continued to make fun of me. Natural selection, people

If that carabiner won't attach to the scaffolding because it's too thick, loop the lanyard around the scaffolding bar and then clip the carabiner around the lanyard.

The tool fall arrest device is a GREAT idea for elevated work places.Like how the device can be hooked to a fixed structure for heavy tools.Gloves-good at worksites handling materials or with hand held tools.Gloves should NEVER be worn while using stationary machines such as leather or milling machines in a shop.The glove can catch on a moving part and pull you in!Not to mention NO loose clothes or long sleeves around metal working machine tools.Clothes and gloves can catch and cause loss of a hand or arm.

Vincenzo I was working on my rental property 20 years ago I put my Dewalt 18v drill on top of the latter and you know how big and heavy they are. I move the latter I forgot that that big old drill was up there it came down and broke my nose. The next day I had two black eyes. The old latter didn’t have holes on top so that I can stick the drill in there and the drills back then it didn’t have belt clips. Milwaukee isn’t the only one that makes that.

Nice and informative video. I think the capacity rating of the this lanyard should be rated on the capacity rating of rope or strap. That being the capacity rating for a “NEW” rope or strap. Rating are ropes or straps decrease when they become dirty, frayed, cut, or come in contact with certain chemicals. Thoughts?

I'm liking the hair cut Vince. It fits well with the clean shave. 👍

Great information!

The difference between a pro and a newbie is the ppe. If I hire you to do a job and you show up not wear the right ppe for the job I dont want you to work with me. Nuff said.

Safety first bro .. is #1 at UPS 👍

Whoa Vince you've never done the Dewammy at a bodega before?!?! You're missing out bro!!

Sounds stupid but that accessorie can be very helpful and can save a lot of things. Great jobs guys!

Another good and informative video. Is there a study about how many people are killed or injured each year by falling tools?

We would tie ropes around the cordless power tools. The corded tools the safety line was the cord LOL

#VCGconstruction Vince how you liking the Helly Hansen work shoes. They look like they just came out of the box. New pair or just hold up that well. Watched you video on them was just wondering if you still love them as much as you did almost a year ago.

holy shit you made a 20mins video about a lanyard!

A carpenter at a job site I was at dropped his gun from the 6th floor working next to a open elevator shaft and there was a foreman down on the 1st floor. Needless to say there isn’t a day that goes by that the image of what happened when that gun hit the Guys head doesn’t haunt me

PPE is mandatory for us.

So many people drop guns and other tools. The tool companies should start adding rings or another way to attach them to these lanyards,

I've wondered whatever happened to the wrist straps that used to come with cordless NiCd tools for working overhead(s). This is soo much better! Thanks Vince and God be with you! 😁👍✌

If you had a sharp drill bit in the drill and it was attached to your belt and you dropped it, it could potentially swing down and stab you in the leg.

Yo fellas! How do you like that gen 3 hammer drill? I dig that lanyard. Nice vid and hope your having a great day. Thanks bro! Say hi to Nick for me if you get the chance.

Anything could happen on the job site...I fell off a 21 feet roof due to neglegence.. now I see things differently... safety should be priority..

If you were working up high you should be tethered into a safety restraint system so having ten pounds yank on you shouldn't be an issue. Even if you do fall you should be saved by your layers of PROPER PPE AND GEAR!

I don’t know about anybody else, but I’ve been hit from a drill that fell off an extension ladder luckily it hit me battery first and not drill tip first. It was only 6 feet high but still definitely hurt.

There’s just sometimes where I don’t know if I can take this guy seriously 😂😂

I will admit that was not very informative to me, but you did a really good job explaining a lot of info that people just don't know, don't contain enough brains to understand unless spelled out to them, so like everything it has to be idiot proofed. But I couldn't agree more with you about safety in a workplace, worksite, etc, especially not just for yourself but always have your co-workers and anyone else who might be present because I don't think anyone wants someone to get injured or accidents happening. I worked as a Toyota Master Technician for 20 years and I hated having to watch what everyone else was doing all day because I didn't trust 1/2 of them to do a lot of jobs properly

First keep up the good work vince

Its negligence if your tools are not secured

i can make you a 100lbs lanyard, you have a PO BOX? breaking point would be the hardware i get my hands on. let me know can i start making one.

Like this.

They need to remove the spindle...it could snap it's a really weak point...better if the belt strap was triple stitched like climbing carabiners...Safety First..!

Vince, c'mon buddy: An accident is an unintended consequence due to negligence. The other would be fate🤣

I think they should be part of protocol if you buy any Japanese hand tool they all have spot for lanyards idc if its 6ft or 1ft im still going to be pretty angry is some guy drops anything on me and reading directions for be more normalized

The Caribbeaneryou’re could’ve been wrapped around the pipe and then attached to it self

How tall are ya Vince

This is nice but making something like that from good hardware and good paracord might be better of the springing ability isn't important.

Bodega or a Poppy store

This reminds me of when I almost got hit in the head by a falling fat max tape measure the guy was 16 feet above me and missed my head by like 4 inches

Homie.....i love your videos and you're hella entertaining but those jeans bruh😆

I had a friend he was going up a latter and his brother was right behind him his screw gun fell out of his tool belt and being that his brother what is it looking up following him up the ladder the screw gun tip went right through his eye lost his eyesight permanently if your brother only waited 30 seconds before filing his brother screw gun will never hit him in his face and that's the God's honest truth

If you have the capability and supplies to make sure your work area is safe, and fail to purchase/make/utilize such items, you are negligent in ensuring the safety of yourself and everyone else that may be around. Things like this are cheap insurance and should be used if available IMO. Also, safety items can become worn/frayed/chaffed/torn/damaged, and should be periodically inspected for serviceability on a regular schedule. Failure to do that is also, IMO, negligent.

Negligence, no ifs, ands or buts

Couldnt tell us what kinda metal it was?

Bodega mean warehouse in Spanish.

Or putting a metal roof and it slides off a two story house and hits someone in the head

Negligence
