Product Spotlight: Kishigo Premium Black Series Tool Tethering Vest (1820) — ANSI Type R Class 2

Dropped tools are a real jobsite hazard—especially on lifts, scaffolding, towers, and industrial sites. The Kishigo Premium Black Series Tool Tethering Vest combines high-visibility compliance with built-in tether points and serious pocket layout, so crews can stay organized, reduce dropped-object risk, and keep moving.

Why crews choose the Kishigo 1820

  • Integrated tool tethering anchor points: Seven (7) built-in anchor points designed for controlled tool tethering on the job.
  • High-visibility compliance: ANSI/ISEA Type R, Class 2 compliant for roadway and work-zone visibility needs.
  • Built for tough days: Solid polyester oxford front plus a breathable mesh back helps balance durability and airflow.
  • “Clean look” black bottom: The heavy-duty black lower panel helps hide dirt and grime longer—great for crews who need to look professional.
  • Fall-protection compatible: Designed around wearing a harness with features that support movement and access.
