Don’t Drop it, Phat Strop it!

[Cutting-Edge Chris]

Is there anything more frustrating than grabbing for your trusted handsaw only to find it has come loose from the sheath and fallen to the floor?

 

Could you do without wasting time collecting it or worst case have to replace an expensive tool that has been lost or broken on impact?

 

Taking on board all your feedback throughout 2010, we’ve finally developed the first original Phat Strop, which has a universal application with any tool up to a maximum weight of 2.5lb/1.25kg.

 

So what’s in it for the user?

 

Most importantly, it’s designed to help you prevent dangerous, sharp or heavy tools being dropped from any height that may cause serious injury or property damage.

 

Interestingly, just about every commercial user working with tools from any height or work platform above 2.5 metres now needs a Phat Strop to comply with health & safety general duties of care.

 

So how do I use a Phat Strop?

 

The Phat Strop comes complete with a heavy duty lanyard, carabiner and unique cord loop, which can be thread through the eye of the tool or secured firmly around the tool handle. The lanyard extends from 1-1.4 metres so you can conveniently reach branches yet it also recoils close to the sheath meaning you avoid getting caught whilst climbing.

[RobArb]

nice idea but length of old throw line does me:thumbup:

[Tom2020]

What makes it better then the Stein orange bungee tool strop?

 

Or Stein orange webbing tool strop 1.4 metres 1 metal ring?

 

Im going to be buying either one as it happend to me twice today and got bloody fed up with it and this dose look quite good Apart it being cheaper then the others.How would it benefit me

[RobArb]

plus whats the point of it if you can't use it at maximum extension?

[Cutting-Edge Chris]

Hey guys,

 

Lop Top... What colours your kit?

 

Rob... glad you have had the problem, we just give you the option with a simple devise, just be careful of the throwline weight capabilities... I heard of someone who used a retractable cat lead... it almost slashed through his chest! :-s

 

The Phat Strop is designed more for handsaws, secatuers and small tools (not chainsaws) which the Stein is for.... One thing that is unique is the cord loop on the Phat Strop can be thread through the eye of the handsaw handle whereas the orange bungee has only a loop.

 

Thanks for the feedback, keep it all rolling.

 

Much love,

haven't had a chance to look at one of these close up and i think its a good idea that someone has thought of. Chris will you be at the Three counties show? So i can have a closer look. I won't be at Woodfest this year so you'll have to make sure Alex and Paul (Oregon shop) have a lovely hangover.

[Cutting-Edge Chris]

Ah see the reason for the maximum lanyard extension is I know how far you guys can stretch when in the tree... We've done some extreme testing on the mechanics... I just wanted to ensure you all take pre-cautions :-)

Hey Ian, I will have a good look into the 3 counties its in my list of shows... Where abouts are u based? As for Woodfest... its gona be messy, perhaps me and Alex will be the last survivors on the field this time too :-p
