Eliminate Lanyard Twist with Integrated Swivel Technology
Anyone who's worked at height with lanyards knows the frustration of twisted lines—they reduce efficiency, create tangles, and can even compromise safety by putting unexpected loads on your equipment. The FROG 360 solves this problem by integrating KONG's famous automatic FROG connector with a textile-friendly swivel, creating a single tool that delivers both quick directional connection and twist-free operation.
The Best of Both Worlds
The FROG 360 combines two critical functions in one compact unit. You get the innovative automatic gate-closing system of the FROG connector for quick, secure directional connections, plus an integrated swivel that allows your lanyard to rotate freely. This prevents the twisting that occurs during normal work movements, keeping your lines organized and your equipment functioning as intended.
The swivel is specifically designed to be "textile friendly," meaning it won't damage or prematurely wear your rope or webbing lanyards. This attention to detail extends the life of your soft goods while maintaining the smooth rotation you need.
Automatic Gate-Closing System
Like other members of the FROG family, the FROG 360 features an innovative automatic gate-closing system. This provides quick and secure directional connection without the manual gate operation required by traditional carabiners. The result is faster connections, reduced user error, and improved efficiency—especially valuable when you're making multiple connections throughout the workday.
Create Twist-Free Lanyards
The integrated swivel makes the FROG 360 ideal for creating custom lanyards that won't twist during use. Whether you're building fall arrest lanyards, positioning lanyards, or specialized rescue equipment, the FROG 360 ensures your textile elements remain properly oriented and tangle-free.
This is particularly valuable in applications where you're constantly moving, changing positions, or working in confined spaces where twisted lanyards can become a serious hindrance.
Available in Two Color Options
The FROG 360 is available in two color configurations:
- Black: Professional, low-profile appearance
- Black/Orange: High-visibility orange accents for easier identification and enhanced visibility
Both versions deliver identical performance—choose based on your visibility requirements and personal preference.
