Coilhose Pneumatics BL15 Tool Balancer 19 Lb 8 Ft Cable

Product Description

The COILHOSE PNEUMATICS BL15 is a retractable tool balancer designed to suspend power tools and hand tools overhead, reducing operator fatigue and the risk of dropped tools on the job. It features a steel cable with a maximum extension of 8 feet and supports loads from 11 pounds up to 19 pounds. Spring tension is field-adjustable, allowing the balancer to be tuned precisely to the weight of the suspended tool. The self-contained main spring and integrated lubrication system require no external maintenance under normal use. This unit is installed by mechanics, assembly technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals in overhead track or beam mounting applications.

The BL15 suits assembly lines, auto service bays, fabrication shops, and other overhead workstation environments where tools are used repeatedly at a fixed station. It is appropriate for residential workshop use as well. Any tool within the 11 to 19 pound load range can be suspended, including impact wrenches, drills, grinders, and similar power tools. The adjustable tension feature makes it straightforward to switch between tools of different weights without replacing the balancer unit.

Key Features

• Maximum load capacity of 19 pounds with a minimum rated load of 11 pounds
• Steel cable extends up to 8 feet for flexible overhead reach
• Spring tension is easily adjustable to match specific tool weight
• Self-contained main spring and lubrication system for low maintenance
• Prevents dropped tools, reducing worksite injury risk and tool damage

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation tool balancer suitable for overhead mounting in industrial, automotive, and workshop environments where tools in the 11 to 19 pound range are used.

Installation Notes

Tool balancers are typically installed by maintenance or facilities personnel using a fixed overhead beam, trolley rail, or ceiling-mount bracket rated for the combined weight of the balancer and tool load. Verify that the mounting structure and hardware exceed the maximum rated load before installation. Adjust spring tension only after the tool is attached and the unit is mounted, following the manufacturer tension-adjustment procedure. Inspect the steel cable periodically for kinking, fraying, or corrosion and replace if damage is found.
