The BuckTender is a lightweight, compact retractable designed to keep excess slack from the tail of the BuckAdjust™ secondary lanyard or wood pole fall restriction device out of the way while climbing and working. It also allows the user to make length adjustments without having to remove the tail from a hand line hook or ditty bag. The BuckTender is available with a single leg or dual leg (if user has the tails of both the secondary lanyard and wood pole fall restriction device on one side). The BuckTender will break away when approximately 50 pounds of force is applied.
