For light assembly stations where small tools need to stay close at hand without dragging on the operators wrist, the Cleco BL-1B BL Series Spring Balancer supports compatible tools with a 0.51.8 kg / 14 lb load range and a 1.6 m / 5.2 ft nylon rope length. This spring balancer helps suspend screwdrivers and other lightweight assembly tools above the work area, reducing tool handling effort during repetitive fastening, bench assembly, repair, and workstation tasks.The BL-1B uses an impact-resistant plastic housing to keep the unit lightweight while protecting the internal spring mechanism in normal shop use. A 360 rotating mounting eye helps align the balancer with the work position, while the adjustable cable stop lets the user set the tools resting height so it returns to a consistent, reachable position between cycles.Type: Spring Balancer | Brand: Cleco | Series: BL Series | Model: BL-1B | SKU: BL-1B | Load Capacity: 0.51.8 kg / 14 lbs | Cable / Rope Length: 1.6 m / 5.2 ft | Rope Material: Nylon | Housing: Impact-resistant plastic | Mounting: 360 rotating mounting eyeFeatures:Impact-resistant plastic housing helps protect the balancer while keeping the unit manageable for light-duty workstation use.Resilient, durable spring supports smooth tool return during repetitive assembly and fastening tasks.Mounting eye can be rotated 360 to help align the balancer with the operators work angle and overhead support point.Mounting point for safety chain provides an additional attachment location when secondary retention is required by the workstation setup.Adjustable cable stop permits the tool to be positioned at the required working height.External rotary knob allows spring tension adjustment without opening the housing.Nylon rope length of 1.6 m / 5.2 ft gives the operator practical vertical reach for bench and light assembly workstations.Made in USA: Applications:Assembly benches: Suspending lightweight screwdrivers and small tools above the work surface for repeated fastening cycles.Electronics and appliance assembly: Keeping hand tools positioned within reach while reducing wrist strain from repeated pickup and placement.Automotive component workstations: Supporting small assembly tools used for trim, interior, bracket, and light fastening operations.Maintenance and repair benches: Organizing frequently used tools so they return to a predictable working height between tasks.Training and lab environments: Helping keep shared tools controlled, suspended, and ready for the next user.FAQs:Q: What tool weight range does the Cleco BL-1B support?A: The BL-1B is intended for tools weighing 0.51.8 kg / 14 lbs. Select a balancer whose load range matches the total suspended weight of the tool and any attached accessories.Q: What does the adjustable cable stop do?A: The cable stop sets how far the rope retracts, allowing the tool to rest at a consistent height when released. This helps keep the tool close to the operators normal hand position.Q: Can the mounting eye rotate?A: Yes. The mounting eye can rotate 360, which helps the balancer align with the tools natural working angle and reduces twisting in the suspended setup.Q: Is this a steel-housing balancer?A: No. The BL-1B uses an impact-resistant plastic housing.
