Rampant SPGHOOK Grappling Hook with Rope

Weak point is the threaded stem that passes through flattened area of hooks and then has bolt attached holding hooks in place. We used this to pull thick vines from out of trees. With two of us pulling on it the stem did bend. Would have held one of us without bending. Good product but wasn't real heavy duty.

My application of this supposed grappling hook was pretty passive. Perhaps I exceeded it’s capacity, but, if so, it was easy to do so!The first use, admittedly, was not quite as described as a potential application, but also, not far removed either. Specifically, I used it as an upper limb hold/belay on a 10 meter, 40-year-old, dead tree I was felling from its near-street location in my front suburban lawn. Basically, I was using it to make sure this large dead tree would not end up in the street upon felling. Yeah, well, I just say this obviously substandard allow metal hook should be used ... I don’t know ... in an office or something, for whatever reason. In short, a 2-meter drop from a toss hit soft turf and bent it immediately, and then again, and again (Yeah, first-time grappling hook tosser here.) EACH following fall on, again, soft turf bent the ___ out of this shabby, substandard hook.

Looks Great, Just Got It So I Haven't Tried It Out Yet .... Thanks Guys.

The hook thread will bend if the hook part without thread isn't tight against the thick part of the shaft. So, first put a steel washer against the shoulder, then put on the hook with unthreaded hole, then thread on the threaded hook tight against the first hook, then put an m10 nut up tight against the second hook. Now, most of the thread will be exposed. I opted to put a piece of tubing on the exposed thread then put another m10 nut to hold the tube on. The dome on the nut supplied can be easily removed and can be used in either nut position. The second m10 nut and tube was used to protect the exposed thread. The spring supplied can be discarded, it has no use.

Very strong well constructed even came with decent rope

It works pretty good to help pull my old ass up hills.I haven't tried to walk up the side of a building yet. I'm waiting until I get pretty drunk.

seems over all solid, used it to pull down some dead tree limbs, did that job alright. Of course, I had to try giving it a "test climb" and the rope had an understandable stretch to it, but held. They don't recommend it, but hey, knowledge is knowledge. I will buy another one if needed.

works but durability if for very low weight only. it bent easily with use on heavy object.
