FELCO 938 - Universal Drop-Prevention Tool Adapter Kit - High-Friction Silicone Wrap & D-Ring Attachment Straps

FELCO 938 - Universal Drop-Prevention Tool Adapter Kit - Silicone Wrap & D-Ring Attachment Straps

Elevated pruning on ladders, cherry pickers, or dense canopies demands tool tethering on equipment without integrated lanyard points. The FELCO 938 retrofits secateurs, loppers, and folding saws using self-fusing silicone tape and three multi-size D-ring webbing straps, creating a secure interface for the FELCO 939 safety lanyard.

The 3-metre silicone roll adheres to itself without sticky residue, forming a weather-resistant high-grip bond around tool handles. Impact-resistant hardware withstands the sudden jarring force of a dropped tool, protecting ground crews and preventing equipment loss in heavy undergrowth.

Best For: Arborists, commercial orchardists, utility line clearers, and municipal landscapers who need a retrofittable drop-prevention solution for elevated manual pruning work.

Key Features:

• Universal Tool Adaptability: Retrofits secateurs, loppers, and folding saws lacking integrated lanyard rings or slots.
• Self-Fusing Silicone Tape: 3 m roll creates high-grip, weather-resistant bonds without adhesive residue.
• Multi-Size D-Ring Straps: Three webbed straps with high-tensile metal D-rings fit various handle diameters.
• Rugged Fall-Protection Integrity: Impact-resistant materials maintain structural integrity under sudden drop force.
• Enhanced Workspace Safety: Eliminates dropped-tool injury risk and retrieval losses in dense undergrowth.

Primary Field & Utility Applications

• Elevated Orchard Pruning: Securing secateurs and saws while climbing ladders or operating cherry pickers.
• Park & Street Tree Maintenance: Tether points on loppers during elevated canopy and street tree work.
• Infrastructure-Adjacent Work: Tool security over water features, complex infrastructure, or irretrievable terrain.

Pro Tip & Maintenance: Wrap silicone tape with 50% overlap and stretch firmly during application for maximum self-fusion. Test the D-ring attachment with a controlled drop from knee height before working at elevation. Inspect wraps monthly and re-wrap if tape shows cracking or loosening.
