Tool Balancer for 0.88-2.2 lb Tools
This Ingersoll/Rand tool balancer suspends hand tools weighing between 0.88 and 2.2 lb. A 5.2 ft stainless steel cable extends from an aluminum housing mounted via a suspension shackle. The fixed rotation reel holds the tool at working height using a spring clip attachment. No locking or shock absorption mechanisms are included.
Replaces Makeshift Hooks and Lanyards
The unit replaces improvised hooks, retractable lanyards or simple balancers that lack the precise 0.9 to 2.2 lb capacity range. The jump is worth it when technicians need consistent tool positioning at a fixed height without manual retraction. The non-locking design suits workflows where the tool must move freely with the operator.
Fits Overhead Mounting Points
The suspension shackle attaches to overhead beams, trolley tracks or dedicated balancer rails. The aluminum housing and stainless cable suit industrial environments. The 10 1/4 in retracted height defines the minimum clearance needed above the work zone. The spring clip allows quick tool changes without additional hardware. The fixed reel orientation means the mount point must align with the work area.

Questions about this item
What mounting point does the BLD1 balancer use?
It suspends from a shackle that attaches to an overhead beam or trolley.
How do I attach a tool to the spring clip, and what step is often missed?
Open the clip, hook the tool, then close the clip fully; the common miss is leaving the gate partially open.
Which parts wear first on a BLD1 balancer used daily?
The stainless-steel cable and the spring clip see the most cycles and will need replacement before the aluminum housing.
