Packers Kromer Retractor Series 7200

The Packers Kromer Retractor Series 7200 is a lightweight tool retractor designed to automatically return small tools to their starting position after use. With a high-strength steel cable, riveted cold rolled steel spring, high-impact nylon housing, and compact working-load range, it is ideal for light workstation tools and repetitive assembly applications.

The Packers Kromer Retractor Series 7200 is designed for light-duty tool retraction in workstations, assembly lines, and production environments where small tools need to stay accessible, organized, and safely returned after use.

Unlike the spring balancers listed earlier in the brochure, the 7200 is positioned as a retractor. The brochure explains that retracting force increases as the cable extends, automatically returning the working load or tool to its initial position after use. This makes it useful for keeping light tools suspended and out of the way while still making them easy to grab when needed.

The 7200 uses a high-strength anti-rotation steel cable with an elastic cable stop buffer and screw-type spring hook for load suspension. It also includes a high-strength riveted cold rolled steel spring designed for longer spring life, plus a high-impact orange nylon housing.

The 7200 model family covers small working loads from 0.7 lb to 5.5 lb, making it best suited for light hand tools, small production tools, and workstation accessories. The brochure notes that the spring is not replaceable, so this should be treated as a compact, light-duty retractor rather than a serviceable heavy-duty balancer.
