Abstract
The present invention has a single harness strap loop, which is placed diagonally across the body from one shoulder to the opposite hip, similar to bandoleer. At the hip an open hook is provided. This hooks on to the ring provided at the base of most power tools. A lanyard is attached to the harness at the back and has a clip at the other end. The clip also attaches to the ring on the power tool. The lanyard can be made of stretchable cord to reduce the jerk on the wearer if the tool falls. A clip is attached next to the hook to attach the harness to a belt or belt loop on the wearer to prevent rotation of the harness. The harness is adjustable to allow for sizing.
