For some reason the link just brings me to their category page, but I was able to find it searching a bit. Here's the Google search page, click the first link: http://www.google.com/search?q=lee+valley+safety+tether I chose this Tool Leash to write about because I hadn't found the Lee Valley one, and because I liked this one better than some of the other ones I did find. Plus Tool Leash sound way cooler than Safety Tether. Thanks O’Bunny for pointing out the Lee Valley part.

I hadn't really been aware of how high up I was until I watched it fall. Yikes. Luckily, I had an assistant with me, and I made him climb down and get it.
