Why Tape Measures Need Special Tethering

Tape measures are one of the most commonly used tools at height, but they present unique challenges for tool drop prevention. Their smooth, cylindrical shape makes it difficult to attach standard tool lanyards securely. The tape measure jacket solves this problem by providing a dedicated attachment point specifically designed for tape measures, ensuring they can be safely tethered like any other tool.

Secure Lanyard Attachment Point

The jacket features a secure attachment point specifically designed for connecting tool lanyards and tethers. This dedicated connection point ensures your tape measure stays securely attached to your lanyard throughout the workday, preventing dangerous dropped object incidents. The attachment point is engineered to withstand the forces encountered during normal use while maintaining secure connection.

Protective Cover Benefits

Beyond providing a tethering point, the jacket also protects your tape measure from impacts, abrasion, and environmental exposure. This protective function extends the life of your tape measure by shielding it from the bumps, drops, and rough handling common in construction and industrial environments. The durable cover helps prevent damage to the tape measure housing and internal mechanisms.

Universal Fit Design

The tape measure jacket is designed to accommodate most standard tape measures, making it a versatile solution for various brands and sizes. This universal compatibility means you can use the same jacket design across your tool fleet, simplifying procurement and ensuring consistent tool drop prevention practices across your organization.

Durable Construction

Built to withstand demanding work environments, this tape measure jacket features durable construction that holds up to repeated use, exposure to weather, and the physical demands of professional construction and industrial work. The robust design ensures reliable performance day after day, providing dependable tool drop prevention you can count on.

Lightweight Design

The jacket adds minimal weight to your tape measure, ensuring it doesn't significantly affect the tool's balance or usability. This lightweight design means workers can use their tape measures naturally without feeling burdened by excessive weight from the tethering accessory. The minimal weight addition encourages consistent use of tool tethering.

Easy Installation

Installing the tape measure jacket is straightforward, allowing workers to quickly add tethering capability to their tape measures. The simple installation process means minimal downtime and ensures workers can easily implement tool drop prevention without specialized training or tools. The jacket can be removed when needed for maintenance or replacement.

Compliance with Safety Standards

Many industries now require tool drop prevention for all tools used at height, including tape measures. Using a tape measure jacket helps organizations comply with OSHA regulations, ANSI standards, and industry-specific safety requirements. Implementing comprehensive tool tethering for all tools, including tape measures, demonstrates commitment to worker safety and helps prevent accidents, injuries, and liability issues.

Cost-Effective Safety Solution

Compared to the potential costs of dropped tape measure incidents—injuries, equipment damage, downtime, and liability—the tape measure jacket is an extremely cost-effective safety investment. The jacket also helps protect your tape measure investment by providing impact protection, potentially extending the life of your measuring tools.

Professional Tool Management

Beyond safety, using tape measure jackets with tool lanyards helps with tool management and loss prevention. Tethered tape measures are less likely to be misplaced, dropped, or lost at job sites. This helps protect your tool investment and ensures you always have the measuring tools you need to complete the job.

For complete tool drop prevention, pair this jacket with an appropriate tool lanyard rated for the weight of your tape measure.
