Ergodyne Squids 3001 Retractable Tool Lanyard – 2 lb Capacity, Black

Engineered for professionals who value reliable tool management, the Ergodyne Squids 3001 retractable tool lanyard keeps everyday carry within easy reach while maintaining safety. With a maximum working load of 2 lb (0.9 kg), this compact unit is designed to hold a range of hand tools without adding bulk to your workflow.

Its rugged construction blends an ABS thermoplastic housing with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel carabiner and a 360-degree swiveling top ring. The Technora cord inside a tubular nylon sheath delivers dependable strength and smooth operation, while the adjustable barrel lock makes tool attachment quick and confident.

Adaptive length and tangle-resistant design

Self-setting pawls lock the lanyard to a fixed length up to 48 inches (122 cm), so your tool remains tethered but instantly reachable. The retractable mechanism minimizes snagging and tripping hazards on busy job sites.

Versatile, tool-ready configuration

The Squids 3001 includes a modular quick connecting buckle, enabling fast exchanges between tools or attachments. When paired with compatible loop attachments in the Squids family, you can customize a multi-tool setup without slowing your workflow.
