Tool Strops & Slings – Your Hands‑Free Lifeline on the Job

In the fast‑paced world of arboriculture, landscaping and timber work, every second counts. Whether you’re perched high in a canopy, navigating a cramped trench or racing against the clock to meet a client’s deadline, the ability to grab the right tool instantly can be the difference between a smooth operation and a costly setback.

But speed must never come at the expense of safety. The modern worker needs both hands free, a secure foothold and absolute confidence that their equipment will stay exactly where it belongs until they decide otherwise. That’s why Radmore & Tucker has devoted decades to perfecting tool strops and slings that are as reliable as they are intuitive.

Deep Dive: The Strop Families That Keep You Moving

Below you’ll find a concise guide to the four flagship families of tool strops and slings that have earned a reputation for durability, safety and practicality in the field. Use this as a reference when selecting the perfect match for your workload.

1. Endless Loops – The Workhorse

Endless loops are continuous lengths of high‑tenacity webbing that form a closed circle around the tool’s handle or body. Because there is no free end to snag, they provide a seamless, snag‑free experience even when swinging through dense foliage.

  • Materials: 100% polyester with reinforced stitching; optional UV‑stabilised coating for prolonged sun exposure.
  • Load capacity: Ranges from 15 kg to 80 kg SWE (Safe Working Load).
  • Best for: Chainsaws, pole saws and heavy pruning equipment where rapid retrieval is essential.

2. Cut‑Away Straps – The Quick‑Release Specialist

A cut‑away strap incorporates a strategically placed release point that lets you detach the tool with a single motion, without having to undo an entire knot or loop.

  • Materials: High‑strength nylon webbing with reinforced eyelets.
  • Load capacity: 10 kg – 50 kg SWE, depending on width (25 mm–38 mm).
  • Best for: Situations where you must free the tool instantly – e.g., emergency tree‑felling or when moving between tight branches.

3. Webbing Loops – The Lightweight Companion

Webbing loops combine a slim profile with impressive tensile strength, making them ideal for lighter implements that still demand secure attachment.

  • Materials: 100% woven polyester with double‑stitched seams.
  • Load capacity: 5 kg – 25 kg SWE.
  • Best for: Hand pruners, hedge shears and small electric tools that need to stay close at hand without adding bulk.

4. Bungee Strops – The Shock‑Absorber

Bungee strops incorporate an elastic core sandwiched between protective fabric layers. This gives the strap a controlled stretch, reducing impact forces when the tool swings or is dropped accidentally.

  • Materials: Elastic polyurethane core with a high‑visibility polyester cover.
  • Load capacity: 12 kg – 45 kg SWE (dynamic load).
  • Best for: Situations where tools are frequently swung, such as canopy work or when using pole saws on uneven terrain.

Customisation Options – Because One Size Never Fits All

Every forestry and landscaping job is unique. To ensure you get the exact performance you need, Radmore & Tucker offers a suite of customisable features:

  • High‑visibility fabrics: Neon orange, lime green or reflective silver for day‑and‑night visibility.
  • Expandable bungee attachments: Adjustable stretch zones to fine‑tune the give of your sling.
  • Tool‑specific fittings: Pre‑shaped loops for popular chainsaw models, as well as dedicated sleeves that protect against fraying and abrasion.
  • Integrated carabiners: Seamlessly welded steel or aluminium carabiners with locking mechanisms for added security.
