Adjustable Wristband

Overview

Formetco’s adjustable wristband is designed for connecting tool lanyards to the wrist of the user, helping prevent dropped tools — used while working at heights — from falling onto workers or structures below. On a billboard structure or catwalk, even a small hand tool falling from height can pose a real hazard to anyone working or standing underneath, so keeping tools tethered to the body is a simple, effective safeguard for any crew working above ground level.

Specifications

• Product type: Pullaway wristband
• Length: Adjusts to any wrist size
• Max. elongation: 1.30 m / 4.26 ft
• Capacity: 2.3 kg / 5 lb
• Color: Black

Because the wristband adjusts to any wrist size, it can be worn comfortably by different members of a crew and fits under a range of glove and sleeve combinations without needing multiple sizes on hand. The pullaway design is an important safety detail: it’s built to release under load rather than pull the wearer’s wrist along with a falling or snagged tool. The rated capacity of 2.3 kg / 5 lb sets the practical limit for what should be tethered with this wristband — it’s intended for keeping smaller hand tools and lanyard-connected gear under control rather than heavier equipment. The max elongation of 1.30 m / 4.26 ft gives a tethered tool enough reach to be used naturally at the work surface without so much slack that it could snag on structure or catwalk hardware.

Care & Inspection

Formetco recommends hand washing the wristband in cold water with a neutral soap, then drying it in the shade, away from direct sunlight. This simple routine helps protect the webbing and stitching from the kind of UV and heat exposure that outdoor gear is regularly subjected to on billboard sites.

Before and after each use, inspect the wristband for damage, deterioration, or malfunction of the stitching, the velcro strap, the labels, and the D-ring. Any of these components failing could mean a dropped tool goes untethered, so a quick visual and physical check before climbing is worth the time it takes. Keeping a written or electronic inspection record for each check is part of a sound maintenance routine, and it gives a crew documentation that the gear was fit for use on a given job.
