How To Make A Tool Lanyard

[@thatwelder3211]

Being a lineman, welder & heavy equipment operator those knots are very useful

[@nathanmahony3252]

Great Video! I kept bouncing around different hitches but putting two constrictors together is brilliant!

[@mingshey]

I like all your knot videos, and I think this one is widely useful.

[@mikedl361]

Thanks for the video, was about to order squid tails ($10 for 6, not sold individual) to attach to a small wrench but this is perfect to put on my wrench. Saved money, Plus get to be crafty with my tools.

[@duggydugg3937]

excellent..

[@duggydugg3937]

a double figure 8 hitch has more turns ... might be too bulky for this lanyard but might be useful where a very tight grip I's needed on a smooth item.. i us them to hold L shaped hex keys on power tools.. liked yhe eay you used a loop and toggle to vinch up the constrictor knots.. simultaneously to the same tension

[@duggydugg3937]

a constrictor knot is just a clove hitch with the working end tucked under the original turn.. an other step up in security would be thte double constrictor knot... it has the diagonal or bar doubled

[@robertdufour2456]

Awesome! Really, this is such a great tip!

[@ambientartphotography2245]

Awesome video!! If you use poly rope you can cut the line even closer and when you use a lighter, melt it even longer till it bonds with the line next to it to make it even more permanent. Just like paracord bracelets.

Thanks brother. Very useful knowledge.

[@txtoolcrib]

Absolutely.

Coulda used this when I worked on the outside top of wind turbines. Nice knot.

[@txtoolcrib]

I don’t think people realize just how high those things are off the ground until they are up there.

[@T-Mo_]

@@txtoolcrib yeah. 99% of ones I worked on were 270-300ft

[@txtoolcrib]

I actually think I would enjoy working on them. Just windy as hell I would imagine.

[@Doobie603]

O hell no.... and I was a roofer. Anything over 2 stories gives me the heebie jeebies.

[@mingshey]

If you have to climb something higher than a chair to reach your work, it is high enough to be bothersome to pick a tool on the floor. Also a tool dropped from a chair’s height is dangerous enough to injure people beneath.

[@conjandysecurity]

That’s gonna make a beautiful necklace.

[@poor_poor_choofs5321]

very useful info. i drilled a hole through my hammer just to put a lanyard. 😢

[@9P38lightning]

Isn't that a clove hitch your using. With a restrictor knot the working end goes over then under the standing end after making initial clove hitch, if I remember right....

[@pjgppjgp]

You seem like a sane AvE

[@txtoolcrib]

Quite a compliment, thank you.

[@peterevans8194]

Sorry, but I wouldn't trust those knots not to relax a little over time potentially allowing them to slide off the smooth handle if the hammer were dropped...
