FAQs

What is the maximum load capacity of the rings?

The CK Hand Tool Tether Screw Gate Rings have a maximum load capacity of 4kg (2.2lb).

What materials are the rings made from?

The rings are made from durable fibreglass reinforced plastic, designed to be non-conductive and non-corrosive.

Are the rings suitable for use with all hand tools?

No, the rings are designed for hand tools with captive holes. If a tool doesn't have a captive hole, other attachment methods like Tether Tape or adhesive bonding may be required.

Do the rings come with tethers or carabiners?

No, the rings are sold separately. You will need to purchase a compatible tether or carabiner to complete the tool tethering system.

How do I clean the rings?

Clean the rings with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Do these rings meet safety standards?

Yes, they conform to ANSI/ISEA 121-2018 standards for tool tethering systems.

Can I use these rings in electrical work?

Yes, the non-conductive design of the rings makes them suitable for use in electrical work environments.

How do I attach the ring to a tool without a captive hole?

If a tool doesn't have a captive hole, you can use Tether Tape or adhesive bonding. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for proper application.

Troubleshooting

Ring doesn't fit the tool's captive hole.

Verify that the captive hole is at least 3.97mm in diameter. If not, the ring is not compatible. Consider using an alternative attachment method such as Tether Tape if the tool is suitable.

Tether screw gate doesn't attach securely.

Ensure the screw gate connector is compatible. Check for any obstructions preventing full closure. If the issue persists, replace the ring or tether.

Ring shows signs of wear or damage.

Immediately replace the ring to maintain safety. Do not use damaged rings.

Adhesive bond fails.

Ensure proper surface preparation according to adhesive instructions. Clean and degrease the surface before application. Consider using a different adhesive or mechanical attachment if the issue persists.
