Stopdrop Tooling provides Hand Tools which have been designed to prevent dropping when working “At Height”. These tools are commonly called tools at height, tools aloft or tethered tools. The tooling is designed and modified to enable user freedom and maintain product functionality but continue to safely control the tool.
Lanyard attachment points are located to enable control of turning and gripping when using screwdrivers and pliers.
All socket retention ratchets and power handles have two point locking control, one on the body of the tools for lanyards, the other in the positive lock mechanism which holds all socketry in a fixed lock position including extensions and step-up adaptors. Sockets have a hole drilled to ensure positive lock when used on ratchet or power handles. Lanyard attachments are sized to the tool to ensure correct attachment by the operator.

 Every department on a rig needs different tools and also frequently need to work at height. The drill crew tends to use a lot of heavy tools such as sledge hammers, large spanners and pipe wrenches while electricians may prefer screwdrivers, pliers and insulated tools. With that in mind Stopdrop have developed a range of department specific tool kits.

Over the past 7 years we have supplied a Standard Derrick toolkit part no SDKIT01 for use when using tools in the derrick. We have continually upgraded and improved the tooling content of the kit and believe it to be the finest full Derrick kit available. The current configuration contains 168 tethered tools and accesories. Stopdrop Tooling manufactured tools are DROPS compliant.
Sledge hammers are one of the most serious risks when it comes to working at heights with tools. By using the Wilton Sledge Hammers with Stopdrop Tooling attachment and Lanyards, that risk is virtually eliminated.
