[TowerTalk] Tower climbing lanyards

[Wayne Kline]

 Open none gated lanyard clips !!!!  I have a few old single lever clips,  Miller, Klein and  OGP ..
I use them as needed ( mostly painting )   and one that's adjustable 6' for total  around AB 105 and Rohn 65
 
But a open throated lanyard end !!!!    yikes  I have safety clips on my buckets, tool bags  ect.
