    Suspend your tool for a weightless feel and movement with minimal effort. Tool balancers are good for minimizing fatigue in applications that require continuous tool use. Choose a load capacity that is sufficient for the total load you'll place on the tool balancer. This includes the tool plus any fittings, hose, or power cords.
    With Cable Lock—Cable lock allows you to lock the cable at set positions to avoid accidental adjustments. Tug on the cable to release the lock.

    Hoist with

    Scissor Lifter

    (Sold

    Separately)

    Reduce fatigue and help prevent injuries by letting these hoists bear the brunt of your load. Designed for repetitive, all-day lifting and tool-holding jobs, these battery-powered hoists let you guide loads by hand but without the weight. Hang them from a rail or trolley wherever you need to transfer loads in your facility—they’re often used to lift parts onto receiving stations and over assembly lines. Moving your load is as easy as grabbing the handle and guiding it from point A to point B. When you take your hand off the handle, these hoists hold your load in place. The ring they hang from can swivel 360° for positioning flexibility.
    To minimize downtime, these hoists lift and lower up to 500 loads on a single charge. They also come with a backup battery you can use while the other one is charging.
    Pull out the quick-release pin to switch the hook out for a scissor lifter or vacuum lifter (both sold separately).
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
