Product Description
The Peakworks Press Block Tool Tethering Block is an HDPE plastic tethering accessory designed to secure round and hex shank tool bodies to a tool lanyard attachment point, preventing dropped tools from becoming falling object hazards on elevated work sites. The press block design clamps firmly around the tool body using a press-fit mechanism, providing a secure and stable anchor point for a tool lanyard without requiring permanent modification to the tool. Constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic, this tethering block is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and non-conductive, making it suitable for use in electrical, chemical, and other environments where metal tethering hardware may be unsuitable.
The press block features an opening range of 1-1/16 to 1-1/4 in, sized to fit round and hex shank tool bodies within that diameter range. This size range accommodates a variety of common hand tools used in construction, industrial maintenance, and utility work at height, including wrenches, sockets, and other hex or round-shank tools. Once the press block is secured to the tool body, it provides a reliable attachment point for connecting a rated tool lanyard to the worker's harness, belt, or a fixed anchor point.
Dropped tool incidents are a significant cause of injury and fatality on elevated work sites, and tool tethering programs are increasingly required by safety regulations and site-specific safety plans. The Peakworks press block tethering system is designed to help workers and safety managers implement effective dropped object prevention programs across a range of tool types and sizes, complementing the broader Peakworks tool tethering product lineup.
