Klein Occupational Protective Equipment

Materials Used in Lineman's Climbing Equipment:

Klein-Kord®
Klein lineman's belt straps, billets, and pocket tabs are made of Klein-Kord®. Klein-Kord® is an exceptionally strong, multi-ply filament nylon fabric that is neoprene-impregnated, folded, and vulcanized.
Klein-Kord® is abrasion-resistant, non-conductive, virtually free from stretch, and flexible for ease of use and durability. It has excellent chemical resistance and is virtually unaffected by creosote and other pole-treatment chemicals. In addition, its properties and wear characteristics remain essentially unchanged at temperatures up to 250F (121C).

Shown above is Klein's six-ply Klein-Kord®, which is 1-3/4" (44 mm) wide. The center plies of Klein-Kord® are red at the core. When the red plies appear, remove the product from use and replace it. This "early warning" feature is yet another safety measure provided by Klein Tools.
Note: The red center plies may become discolored in use. Therefore, visual inspection for wear before use is mandatory.

Drop-Forged Steel Hardware
Klein D-rings, snap-hooks, and tongue buckles are made of drop-forged steel with a corrosion-resistant finish. All of this Klein hardware is tested to meet or exceed applicable standards and OSHA requirements.

Nylon Webbing
Klein uses a high-quality, commercial-grade nylon. The nylon webbing is impregnated with resin for extra durability and abrasion resistance.

Leather
Rolled-edge, chrome-tanned leather is used for cushioning in all Klein lineman's.belts. These cushions have sponge-rubber cores for added comfort. Other components, such as tool loops, are made of latigo leather, hand-laced and stitched to the belt cushion. Tape thong straps are constructed from long-lasting leather with a vulcanized fiber cross-piece. On top-of-the-line belts, straps are covered with harness leather.

Nickel Plating
Klein knife snaps, glove-bag rings, and suspender rings are nickel plated for durability and corrosion resistance.
