GRIPPS Tool-Hitch H01055 - 16.0kg

Dropped tools remain one of the most common causes of injury on elevated work sites, and a reliable connection point is the first line of defence. The GRIPPS Tool-Hitch gives crews a dedicated attachment rated to 16.0kg, turning any compatible tool into a tethered asset the moment it leaves the belt. It fits straight into existing drop prevention programs without adding bulk or slowing down the workflow.

On a typical shift, a rigger or scaffolders clips the hitch to the tool, runs a tool lanyard through the anchor point, and secures the other end to a harness or structure. The wide throat accepts a range of handle profiles, so the same connector moves between spanners, drills and scaffolding tools without re-rigging. Because the latch action is positive and audible, the user gets instant confirmation that the tool is captured, reducing the chance of an accidental release when moving between levels. The stainless internals resist corrosion on coastal or industrial sites, and the low-profile shape avoids snagging on grating or steelwork.

Rated to 16.0kg, the connector suits heavy hand tools and battery-powered units common on construction, maintenance and offshore projects. It integrates with GRIPPS lanyards and most third‑party height safety equipment, giving supervisors a consistent attachment standard across the crew.
