Anyone know where to find - or how to make - a lanyard which can be

I bought a pair at the turn of the year (HP330D drill/driver and TD090D
impact driver). Very happy with them so far: they are small and light;
and keep up easily with my short days/slow pace. But when working from
a ladder I miss the ability to attach a lanyard. All I have found so
far are holsters which don't appeal as they still risk my discovering
how far they bounce when dropped 6m onto concrete from clumsy fingers.
I've also failed to find a way to tie cords around them without getting
in the way of the trigger and/or chuck.


Not familiar with that model, but a generic way to attach a cord is to
lay it along the back of the handgrip, and secure with multiple turns of
PVC "electrical" tape wound between the trigger and the bottom of the
handle. Add a knot at the top of the cord to reduce the chance of
pull-through on a drop. Apply the tape with plenty of tension.
