Murphy's law of "selective gravity" states: a falling tool always causes the greatest possible damage. The impact of this kind of damage can be considerable. 2000 industrial accidents were registered in Germany alone in the year of 2004.

This invention, also known as Skippy Bag, prevents such accidents due to the fact that the tool belt is able to keep falling tools close to the body - thanks to a retrieving facility. A retention cord, which is automatically inserted in a coil and attached to the tool, makes the new dimension of safety at work possible. An additional advantage is a problem-free connection to the available tool with an innovative connecting technology between the tool and the belt worn on the body. Thanks to the well-thought-out arrangement of the integrated coils, the safety mechanism does not impede the user's freedom of movement.
