 WARNING! May 09, 2007
By Zachary W. Biesanz
"Zach Biesanz"
Take note, kiddies: mine *broke*. Luckily, it did not break completely mid-climb, but had cracked most of the way through under about 180 pounds of weight--enough that afterward it fell apart very easily. Although above it says "rated for 800 pounds," another seller says "not for climbing."
If you really want to be an urban ninja, get a real grappling hook from a mountain climbing supply store.

Dangerously Weak!! Jun 03, 2009
By Innaville Ouijtenmielzoff
"Munk"
"Rated to 800lbs." Not a chance! I threw it into a tree (about 10 feet up), it fell back to the ground, and one of the hooks bent. I bent it back, threw it back into the tree and pulled my 185lb body up the rope. Got to the top and the hook was now bent severely in the other direction. The next time it hit the ground (soft earth and grass), the screw top tip (which allows the collapse) bent so much it can no longer be collapsed. At this point, I could easily break the hooks off with a couple of strong tweaks of my hands. Judging by other reviews, and the opinion of the seller, it may be that mine is faulty. However my seller won't refund, because he says I broke it with "misuse." I guess letting it hit the grass from 10 feet up is misuse of a grappling hook. He then eventually admits that this is more of a "collector" item than a functional tool. DON'T EXPECT TO CLIMB SAFELY WITH THIS PRODUCT. It would be great for yanking things back to you, but don't stake your life on the 800lb rating. For my money, this product is nearly garbage.

A useful retrieving tool Mar 13, 2007
By Thomas G. Spencer
The grappling hook is sturdy enough to pull a large limb from the water. It's folding mechanism makes it more convient to store, but weakens it for really heavy pulling.

 Surprisingly Good Quality Jan 04, 2007
By Glenn Hansen
I bought this, not for scaling buildings, etc. but to grapple into trees and help guide them as I cut them down along my drive & fence line. I really wish I'd bought this thing years ago!!
It is made strong and well. It has also saved me hours of working on extension ladders attaching cables. The grappling hook also is handy guiding large, high limbs that need to be pruned away from property lines and other obsticles.
If you do much tree trimming/removal and can't afford professionals... well, plan your work carefully and plan on getting this grappling hook. It sure beats risking a fall of an extension ladder!
