A few years back i did my A ticket & rocked up for the course start @ bircham newton with a full set of tethered tools as per the wah regs - fully expecting it to be a pre requisite & a necessity as an advanced scaffolder concidering the structures we were to be erecting - how wrong was i , not only did the instructor smile at them amused but the other guys on the course claiming never to have heard about it or worked with them .
but after the 2nd day & 2 dropped spanners & a smashed tape murmerings had changed from "looks fvcin stupid" to "maybe not a bad idea".
Tbh several years later the only thing i teather full time is my IW & thats just common sence & would bd too expensive not to justify doing so, but each job we do has a differnt RA & MS so for instance if over water wouldnt you wanna keep ur nice shinney titanium spanner dry lol

Unless your going to tether all your fittings, then what's the point!

Better go work for GKR then seeing as though they have just invented a tethered fitting

Can't beat the old coiled telephone cable and two key rings on your level.
That's old school.
