Pelican Rope Arborist-16 Positioning Lanyard with Steel Snap Hook (1/2 inch)
The Better Grab Tree Rigging Positioning Lanyard is an all-in-one, convenient kit that is designed for positioning and restraint, perfect for when you're working at heights. Since this lanyard includes a Better Grab Rope Grab Adjuster, you can change the length to fit your work area with ease. For instance, if you're climbing a tower and need to remove slack, you can adjust it using just one hand.
Other than the adjuster, you should always inspect your lanyard for any frays or wear before use. With that said, the Rope Positioning Lanyard also comes with an abrasion-resistant sleeve, so it should remain intact for a long time before noticing any change in color. Positioning lanyards are a necessary item for fall prevention, but won't protect you if you happen to fall from a distance greater than 2 ft.
