The PenSafe PincerTM: A safer alternative to traditional snap hooks
The PenSafe PincerTM is a revolutionary alternative to snap hooks. Rather than having a gate it has a patented interlocking closure that is safer and is easier to use.
Protect yourself: comply with the proposed ANSI standard
Standards for fall protection hardware are changing. Traditionally snap hooks have been required to withstand a side load of only 350 lbs - a load that can easily be exceeded in a fall where the hook is improperly loaded. The ANSI Z 359.1-07ED standard, specifies a load of 3,600 lbs - over ten times greater. It means the component is secure even when improperly loaded.
The PenSafe PincerTM costs marginally more than traditional snap hooks, but the differential is insignificant compared to the benefits of saving lives, reduced injuries, increased compliance and the economic benefits of improved productivity, reduced insurance premiums and potentially reduced liability and legal costs.
Make sure all your new purchases of fall protection gear adhere to the proposed standard. Stay safe. Minimize the risk.
The benefits of using the PenSafe PincerTM
The PenSafe PincerTM has been engineered from the ground up to perform better than traditional designs. It is safer when improperly loaded, which is crucial, and in addition it has the following benefits:

It is easier to hook in and detach because the opening is clear of fingers. It can be opened with a simple two-step movement, a squeeze, and then pull. The motion can be mastered with a few minutes practice.

Where a single hand and speed is required, such as in search and rescue the PenSafe Pincer can make the difference between life and death.
|
| • |
The PenSafe PincerTM is a state-of-the art item of engineering design and adds a pleasing aspect to applications where aesthetics is a consideration.
