Protects my husband and sons when working at heights around the house.

This Peakworks V845523006LE (Leading Edge Standard) Self Tensioning Fall Protection Lifeline protects my husband and sons when working at height around the house. I own a multi-story historic home and for years it terrified me when my husband and sons worked on the roof or painted the top floors. I always wanted them to buy some kind of safety rope like this but they just ignored me so I was thrilled to get it. This safety rope is a fall arrest device. In the event of a fall, it brakes to stop the fall. And because it's constantly under tension, it slows down very quickly. You can test this by simply picking up the device and pulling on the leash. They are designed to be used with a leash, and there are many. We use it with this one, which is very cheap and comfortable to wear. https://www.amazon.com/Peakworks-V8002000-FBH-10000A-Contractor-Universal/dp/B01HJFRIIU/ This sling is designed for the leading edge, which means it can be attached to a roof, for example, and the sling can be attached to be hung on the edge roofs. It consists of a very strong webbing and the carabiner is designed for heavy use. You have to attach it to some kind of anchor, which varies depending on the location. This one is 6ft long but Peakwoorks has longer ones on the same side and my husband will also order a longer one for some jobs where he cannot anchor within 6ft. My husband tried it the other day when he was replacing a rotten board on the eaves of the top floor of the house. He was on the stairs, but he was wearing a seat belt and tether, and when he finished and went downstairs, he admitted it made him feel a lot safer and more confident. Hallelujah! Nobody else will work in my house without one of them and I will sleep much better.

Pros
  • Application in the security sector. Engineered for performance and impact resistance, the attachment point includes a strong and comfortable swivel eye with a durable carabiner to withstand the toughest conditions. for longer life
Cons
  • Lanyard shorter than others
