Guardian 00815 Rooftop Safety Kit - 50 ft Vertical Lifeline Assembly | Reusable Temper Anchor | Full Body Harness | Yellow Storage Bucket

Painting high on a steep tin roof. This kit made me feel safe and am certain would have saved me from severe injury if I had fallen. The harness was quick to adjust and put on and take off. Clipping up to the rope with the shackle was easy. The shackle moved up and down the safety rope with one hand operation making it easy to take up slack when needed. The anchor looked a little different that what is pictured and could fit any pitch roof to flat. I won't do work up high without it anymore. I will probably buy some permanent anchors to leave in place on my house for future re-use and maintenance. It all fits in the 5 gallon bucket it came in when done for easy storage. Great product at a very affordable price.

I rarely am moved to write a review. And usually the passion comes from finding displeasure in something. This Fall Protection Bucket far exceeded my expectations based on the price. I'm a rock climber and usually just rig something from climbing gear for projects, but this was a big roof project and I wanted to try the real deal. For less than the price of a skimpy climbing harness you get a nice sturdy length of rope with very burly and yet easy to use hardware. A very solid harness that, although it took me awhile to figure out how to make the one size fits most fit me, ended up quite comfortable. I felt safe and secure all day. Everything you need is in the box including the choice of nails or screws to attach the anchor! Only downside is I probably have 5-10 more days up on the roof to get that thing redone! At least I'll stay safe....

Some reviews discuss the harness size being an issue. It will accommodate most Men sizes. Harnesses are suppose to be snug and this one adjust so it would be. All the material was high quality. I used it to take down a 12 pitch barn roof and it worked flawlessly at least for not actually testing it by falling but I knew it was there if I needed it which thankfully I did not fall and fully test its ability. After installation and use I am sure it would have saved my life if I needed it to. This is a great dependable long lasting harness. I gave it five stars because it was comfortable and fit well and was high quality construction and material with great instructions and a nice bucket to keep it all organized. I highly recommend to any one needing piece of mind when up high.

This system shipped quickly, was competitively priced and provides extra safety when i need to work on the roof. What was especially helpful was the longer rope (50 feet) - long enough that i could stay teethed to the rope as I climbed down the ladder. I would have given it five stars had it come with an anchor designed to be permanently attached to the roof (the one that comes with the kit is perfect for installing a new roof, but I used the system on an existing roof while I was installing a TV / FM antenna.

This system really works great but you must be careful when you get near the peak of the roof . Keep weight on the line at all times or there could ber a slight problem.

I just removed a chimney from a 12/12 aka 45 degree roof using this fall protection system. It ended with having to abort and cover everything due to rain, and this became absolutely essential. A few notes: 1) Get a permanent double-ended fall protection anchor if you plan to use this kit long-term. Get the Guardian one, not the Werner one from Home Depot. The Guardian one has built-in butyl tape that seals the holes. 2) The rope grab works super well even if wet. However, you should always only use this system for fall restraint where you limit yourself from falling over any edges. The system will catch you if you fall over an edge, but you should look up and understand suspension trauma to understand why this is bad. 3) The kit does not include foot stirrups to relieve suspension trauma. So if you fall over an edge, you’re looking at a fire department rescue that needs to happen within 20-30 minutes or you could have serious medical issues. 4) Use the nails. They seem sketchy compared to screws, but they are long and penetrate into more wood than shorter screws. Of course, 4.5” high strength screws would be ideal. 5) I used my anchor to help get traction on a 45 degree roof. This is probably not advised as you have to weight the anchor on purpose. However, it worked extremely well even while it was raining. That said, if you have a 12/12 roof, you have an old house, and you should add metal Stimpson Strongties to the rafter wood at any joints before installing any fall protection anchor on that truss. Old rafters are not engineered trusses.

Great price. Ships fast

This harness made my roofing project go twice as quickly. I worked without it yesterday and with it today. Amazing the difference it made. I appreciate the comfort level it gives you but more importantly for me was being able to keep the rope in my hand while moving up and down the roof giving me stability. My legs and feet were like jello yesterday from constantly fighting to keep my balance and with the harness, I had no where near the fatigue. It took me a bit to figure out how to put the harness on and take off but finally determined you can undo the front buckle by sliding it through the connection. I was going to buy one do the designs with the seatbelt type ratchet but being able to easily adjust the length of the rope made it much more useful.

Used this for roofing a new build. all quality fittings

This is a very well designed Safety Harness set everything in the set works top notch this is a must have if you work on your roof.i highly recommend this set its easy to adjust i would buy it again if i would need another set.

Very good quality, and fast delivery, very satisfied thanks

Good quality, nice fit.

I needed this to use as fall protection for fixing the roof cap shingles on my 13/12 Pitch Roof. I felt very confident in the Body Harness and that helped relieve the anxiety of climbing such a steep roof. The Body Harness fit well but I hardly had any adjustment left when tightening the chest strap as I had it as narrow as it would go. I am average height and build(5'8"), but since this harness has to fit a wide range of Body types, if you are smaller than average build, it may be a little too loose if you aren't wearing anything else except for a Shirt and Pants. All parts are solid and OSHA approved. The only thing I would change is the Automatic Rope Grab Lanyard Length. It's almost impossible to attach the Body Harness D-Ring on the back to the Rope Grab Lanyard without another person helping you.
