Abstract: A tool containment system provides various configurations of a flexible member each of which can engage a part of the external surface of a tool to provide connection means for a tether to limit travel of the tool, or to oppose disassembly of tool components, or both.
Abstract: A tether having an elastic member which provides an unstretched length having a first part and a second part with the first part of the unstretched length having less elastic resistance than a second part of the unstretched length to alter characteristics of stretch and recovery toward the unstretched length under load and unloaded conditions.
