Guardian Product Solutions featuring Quick-Switch®
Innovators in Dropped Object Prevention
Guardian's Quick-Switch® Tool Transfer System is a revolutionary, hands-free tool tether innovation that streamlines the secure transfer of tools when working at height, without the need to disconnect the tool from an anchor. Users remain in full control of the tool with 100% tie-off and the mechanical lock fits multiple tools to easily switch each tool’s connection from belts to wrists and between hands.
