SAFETY FIRST
All products manufactured and sold by iTOOLco, are sold with the express understanding that
the purchaser and user are thoroughly familiar with the safe use, proper care and application of
the product.
Responsibility for the safe use, proper care and application of the product rests with the user.
Failure of the product can occur due to misapplication, abuse, overloading, or improper care
and maintenance.
There are numerous government and industry standards that cover products manufactured and
sold by iTOOLco. This document makes no attempt to reference all of them. We do reference
standards that are most current like ASME B30.26-2010 “detachable load indicating devices.”
Ratings shown in iTOOLco literature are only applicable to new or “as new condition” products.
Rated capacities define the greatest force or load a product can carry under usual or normal
environmental conditions. Shock loading and extraordinary conditions must be taken into
account when selecting products and product capacity.
Some of the products in the iTOOLco catalogs are designed for use with rigging hardware and
components which could be supplied from several different manufacturers. It is crucial that you
read and understand the literature from these manufacturers, as well as governmental
standards and industry technical manuals.
The rated capacity, design factor and efficiency rating of each iTOOLco product may be affected
by wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation, intentional alteration, age and other use
conditions. The recommended proof load on all items manufactured and sold by iTOOLco is
twice the working load limit (WLL), unless otherwise shown. Proof testing is included on all
iTOOLco load indicating products.
