The problem with that is it does not let you get your arm free of the
tool. Something like the beefier version:

That latter is what I was thinking of rather than something to slip
around you wrist. Attached to the holster or belt, not through a
belt loop as in the Axminster picture. I suspect a dropped drill
would just rip the belt loop off the trousers...


Prolly would. I wear Bib & Brace type overalls, so belt loop won't work.

I wonder how bungee the bungee is? You don't want a dropped tool to
bounce around but conversely a dead line could transfer rather too
much shock to you.


Total load is only 5kg, decent combi would weigh at least half that. SDS
could well be over.
