TRSMIMA Fall Protection Retractable Lanyard - 30ft Self-Retracting Fall Arrest Safety Construction Roofing Galvanized Steel Cable Two Internal Shock Absorber System Waterproof Housing

I have a Malta Dynamics Warthog harness but I needed a fall arrester to go along with it, as it didn't come with one. It's the perfect addition to my "working aloft" gear set.For those that aren't aware, this is a "Class 1" (ANSI/ASSP Z359.14-2021) fall arrester. There are 2 classes, and which class you get determines where your anchor point must be. For a class 1, the anchor point must be at or above the dorsal D-ring (the ring on your back). That means with this harness you don't want to tie off below your shoulders. So, if you're in a cherry picker at height, you can't latch this to the basket anchor point at your waist and expect to be protected. This is the incorrect fall arrester for this.If you want a fall arrester that you can anchor thusly, you need a "Class 2", which can be anchored above OR below the dorsal D-ring.Just make sure you get the proper type of fall arrester for the work you're doing and you should be good. As long as you use this with shoulder height and above anchoring, it will protect you. Below, and there is a huge risk. This is a fantastic Class 1 arrester, and I'm glad to have it as part of my kit. I strongly recommend it if you are in need of a Class 1 arrester.

This 30-foot self-retracting marvel, with its galvanized steel cable and dual internal shock absorber system, secures our noble workers against the perils of gravity. Its waterproof housing stands steadfast against the elements, ensuring longevity and reliability. As we strive for a more perfect union in our daily labors, this lanyard exemplifies the pinnacle of modern engineering, allowing us to ascend great heights with the confidence that our lives and liberties shall remain protected.

If you work in situations where you need fall protection and can tie off above the ring of your harness, this is a great option to consider. With both ANSI and OSHA certifications, you have the peace of mind that this arrester was built to safety standards. The construction is solid. As with any fall protection equipment, make certain that your set up is reviewed and approved by a qualified individual with the right training to make sure you're safe. I recommend this product!

I haven't had to use it for a fall, but I tested it's operation by perking on it. The mechanism locks very quickly, and releases as soon as the tension is off it. It's nice not having a rope dragging around you, and potentially being a trip Hazzard.
