Was dubious about buying, a bag, of the beeswift mp1 gloves, as I was actually looking for an alternate brand, I've had gloves before that were all bundled together, where the rubber was too hard and the material like an old rope, the company sent them out really fast delivery, individually wrapped, premium gloves, really happy, top drawer, as these will be stored in the garage, no damp or spider issues, big thanks to George @ gloves & stuff.

6 Metres of Protection When It Matters Most
The Portwest FP42 is a 6-metre retractable fall arrest block built for working at height. This isn't just a safety device – it's the difference between a close call and a safe day on site. The wire rope lifeline extends smoothly as you move, then locks instantly if you fall, arresting you after only a short distance.
Key Features:
-
Inertia Brake System: Sophisticated mechanism allows free movement during normal work but locks instantly during a fall. Arrests you quickly to minimise fall distance and impact forces.
-
Wire Rope Lifeline: Durable wire rope stored on a spring-based reel inside the protective housing. Automatically retracts and extends to follow your movements without getting in the way.
-
Shock Absorbing: Built-in shock absorption reduces impact forces during fall arrest. Protects your body from the sudden stop.
-
140kg Load Rating: Rated for users up to 140kg, accommodating workers with tools and equipment. Tested to handle real-world conditions.
-
Swivel Snap Hook: Double safety lock prevents accidental opening. Fall indicator shows if the device has been involved in a fall and needs replacing. Swivel design prevents tangling.
-
ABS Protective Housing: Tough plastic shell protects the internal mechanism from impacts and weather. Alloy steel heat-treated components inside for long-term reliability.
-
Quick Installation: Easy to set up and use. Compatible with all Portwest harnesses and connectors for a complete fall protection system.
-
10 Year Shelf Life: Long service life from manufacturing date. Certified to EN 360:2002 and EN 362:2004 A standards.
The Portwest FP42 gives you freedom to work at height with confidence. Whether you're on scaffolding, working from platforms, or tackling maintenance tasks above ground, this retractable block keeps you protected. Order yours now and work safer tomorrow.
