RELIABLE & ECONOMICAL SERIES “BD” BALANCERS The economical choice for balancing tools weighing up to 5 lbs(2.3kg). This is a rugged ABS plastic light duty tool suspension device. These balancers have a load capacity range of 0.5-lbs to 5-lbs. The balancer is hung from overhead structure by a swiveling hook and a tool is hooked to the balancer's cable end suspended over your workstation area. The balancer can be adjusted to make the tool seem near weightless when you pull the tool down to your task and, when the tool is not in use, you lift it up for storage or stand-by mode, thereby reducing repetitive motion injuries or issues. The balancer also protects the tool from damage as it is hanging up above out of the way of accidentally being knocked off the work surface onto the floor. These balancers do not have a ratchet lock but can be adjusted to allow the tool to be 'balanced' at a desired distance (within a range) without drifting up or down. The cable travel of these balancers is 6 feet.
