The 3M DBI-SALA® Tool Retractor is a compact and reliable retractable tether designed to help secure tools and accessories when working at height. As part of the trusted 3M™ DBI-SALA® Fall Protection for Tools range, it helps reduce the risk of dropped objects while improving tool control and workplace safety.

Rated for tools weighing up to 2.3kg (5lb), the retractor provides a secure connection between the tool and an approved anchor point while allowing unrestricted movement during everyday tasks. The retractable lifeline automatically extends and retracts as needed, keeping excess tether length under control and helping reduce snagging and entanglement hazards.

Unlike fixed-length tool lanyards, the retractor helps keep tools neatly positioned when not in use. This not only improves worker mobility but also creates a more organised and efficient work environment, particularly when operating in confined spaces, elevated work platforms, scaffolding, or around machinery.

Designed for dependable performance across a broad range of applications, the Tool Retractor integrates seamlessly with compatible 3M™ DBI-SALA® Fall Protection for Tools accessories and tethering systems. It is suitable for construction, industrial maintenance, utilities, telecommunications, manufacturing, engineering, energy, and infrastructure sectors.

Available as part of a wider range of DBI-SALA® tool retention products offering different capacities, materials, lengths, and connector options, this 2.3kg model provides an effective solution for securing lightweight and medium-duty hand tools in demanding work-at-height environments.
