Abstract
A tool lanyard for releasable attachment to a safety harness of a workman to resiliently arrest the inadvertent dropping of a tool by the workman. The tool lanyard includes a looped cord on one end of the lanyard to receive a tool in a tightly gripped relation and a hook on an opposite end of the lanyard for mounting on a ring of the safety harness. A resilient connecting structure between the looped cord and the hook minimizes any shock action resulting from inadvertent dropping of the tool while arresting the dropping of the tool. The resilient connecting structure includes an outer non-elastic sheath about an inner elastic cord.
