RNA Raider Chainsaw Lanyard Tool Tether — Black, Built-in Bungee & 24 kN Keylock Carabiner

Built for tree professionals and anyone working off the ground, the RNA Raider combines stretchable shock-absorbing cord with rugged nylon webbing and a secure aluminum connector so tools stay attached without restricting movement. The lanyard packs a 36" static length that extends to 50" under load, weighs just 7.18 ounces, and is rated for a 15 lb maximum working load—designed specifically to reduce the risk of dropped tools, not to serve as a personal fall-arrest device.

How does the built-in bungee help during climbs and cuts?

The integrated bungee stretches when you reach or move, giving you freedom of motion while keeping tension on your tool. When not stretched it retracts neatly to reduce snag points and clutter around your harness.

• Extends from 36" to 50" for extra reach.
• Controlled retraction minimizes dangling hazards.
• Shock-absorbing stretch reduces sudden jerks on connection points.

What makes the connector safe and easy to use?

RNA fitted the Raider with a 3-stage aluminum keylock carabiner rated at 24 kN to provide a reliable attachment to harnesses and anchor points. The keylock shape reduces snagging while the three-stage gate increases security during active work.

• 24 kN 3-stage keylock for dependable connection.
• Aluminum construction balances strength and weight (7.18 oz total product weight).
• Large opening and smooth gate action for quick clipping to harnesses.

How durable is the lanyard in real-world conditions?

Constructed from high-strength nylon webbing, the Raider resists abrasion, tearing, and general wear from regular field use. Its lightweight build preserves mobility while providing a secure tether for tools and accessories.

• Extra high-strength nylon resists fraying and abrasion.
• Heavy-duty adjustable aluminum ring for quick gear management.
• Weighs 7.18 ounces—light enough for full-day use.

Can I use this lanyard for personal fall protection?

No — the Raider is intended to secure tools, not people. RNA explicitly warns against using this product as a personal safety device and recommends regular inspection and retirement after major shock loads or visible wear.

• Maximum working load: 15 lbs—sized for tools, not human loads.
• Inspect before and after each use; retire if damaged.
• Avoid use near moving parts and never substitute for certified fall-arrest gear.

Who is this for? Arborists, tree-care technicians, utility workers, and any professional who needs to keep chainsaws and handheld tools tethered while working at height will benefit from the Raider Chainsaw Lanyard. If you want a lightweight, abrasion-resistant lanyard with controlled stretch and a secure aluminum keylock connector to reduce dropped-tool incidents, this product fits that need. Remember: it secures equipment, not people—use alongside appropriate personal protection systems and follow inspection guidance before each shift.
