Self Retracting Lifeline
Rebel self retracting lifelines (SRL) with super-tough yet lightweight composite housings are built to last providing an economical fall protection solution without compromising performance or safety.
These Rebel SRL’s feature a 310 pound (141 kg) user capacity, and a robust design to ensure longevity. Rebel is designed with the worker in mind, featuring a stackable space-maximizing design, high strength web lifeline and a built-in swiveling anchorage point.
An SRL’s lifeline will extend as the user moves away, and retract automatically enabling the user to move about within a recommended working area at normal speeds.
Should a fall occur, a speed sensing brake system will activate stopping the fall and reducing the forces imposed on the user to safe levels.

Light, so easy to install when you are on a ladder… OK, not an OSHA approved procedure, but show me a construction situation that is!Just be careful not to let the lanyard snap back into the housing when you are done. The mechanism will lock and you will have trouble getting it to release.
Terry Davis –
The light weight is appreciated.
