5.0 out of 5 stars Take It Camping In the Mountains
This is a must for crazy campers like me. We used it to zip-line. I am not responsible for anyone who hurts and/or kills themselves from me saying that. It's fun, but should be left to people who know what they're doing (and have health insurance).

I've also used it to scale steep hillsides with trees. It's so fun and since it comes with rope, it's a complete...

3.0 out of 5 stars Grappling hook caution
Folding Grappling Hook Ninja Gear
Hook is weak at the point it attaches to center pole. It will bend under pressure. How much pressure? I have no way to test the pressure. Probably about 200 pounds. You can easily straighten it out with a vise and some strong, long pliers. But that probably makes it weaker after a few bends.

2.0 out of 5 stars hook, October 5, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black Hornet Folding Grappling Hook (Misc.)
The hook looks good but all in all is made of week metal and bends rather easy. I bought the hook to pull tree limbs "that have broken off" down from trees.

Would not trust my life with it. Broke the first time used. Bolt appears to be a "pot metal" and snapped.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect product for an unusual use, May 22, 2008

This review is from: Black Hornet Folding Grappling Hook (Misc.)
The grappling hook arrived very fast and in perfect condition... I could never have told it was used.
I plan to use the hook to snag brush (in the forest) and drag the brush out with an ATV. I am very happy with this product and the seller.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for tree trimming, May 2, 2011

This review is from: Black Hornet Folding Grappling Hook (Misc.)
I use this when trimming trees. I throw it up in a fork of the tree and either tie it off or have a few people pull. Saved a few fences and gutters by using it. As stated in a prevoius review it will bend. Mine bent on the threads and will probably not be able to be collapsed again. Also the Nut at the top Will rust. Overall pretty effective.

3.0 out of 5 stars Its not as easy as it seems, June 13, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black Hornet Folding Grappling Hook (Misc.)
The rope is unclimbable. unless u own some kind of gloves that have SPIKES on em or something, this rope slips out of your hands, even if ur wearing grip gloves, as if it where smeared in butter. durable, though.
