Tethered weapons need two hands to retrieve?

Tethered: This weapon is attached to a length of rope or chain that allows you to retrieve it after it has left your hand. If you have a free hand while wielding this weapon, you can use an Interact action to pull the weapon back into your grasp after you have thrown it as a ranged attack or after it has been disarmed (unless it is being held by another creature).

Does this mean that I can't use the hand that was wielding it prior to my ranged attack to draw it back in?

If so, how does that work with tethered weapons requiring two hands, such as the combat grapnel, combat lure, donchak, harpoon, three-peaked tree, or rope dart?

Thanks Onkonk. I saw the trait in TV, then looked it up on AoN because I didn't see the description in TV. Must have overlooked it somehow.

Hurray for confusing stealth errata! /sarcasm

I sure hope they put an errata notice for the original source. Not everyone is going to own TV after all.

Their common use of stealth Errata might be the one Paizo practice that really irks me.

Documentation is SO important.
