 DOES NOT FOLD - Deceptive Product Title and Description Jun 08, 2010
If possible, I would RATE THIS ITEM 2.5 STARS
1) This grappling hook does not fold. The title is deceptive and needs to be changed regardless of what the manufacture in China has decided to call the product. Folding means to bend, period. Hence, this grappling hook does not have tines that lay flat. Instead the grappling hook comes apart (see photo) for storage as shown on the back of the box (see photo) but never shared by the seller.
2) The twin hook forms on the shaft, once loose from a throw and hard landing, spin around on the main shaft, and do not securely lock into place when finger tighten. This leaves the hook in a non rigid form as the tines once loose from a throw, will also wiggle about some on the main shaft.
3) The tine hooks are not well formed such that the grappling hook when laid down, rest in a less safe position (see photo). For use and safety, grappling hooks in their resting position should have their pointed tines facing down or towards the ground. This grappling hook has been designed and made such that in it's natural resting position has the pointed tines dangerously facing up, and potentially hazardous to people when stowed. The solution would be to reposition the "center of gravity" for the grappling hook by making the center shaft longer.
4) As of June 2010, very low quality nylon rope is being supplied with the grappling hook. Note all of the miss weaves in the line (see photo).
Presuming that the seller is conscientious and aware of what they are promoting, had to have known that the title on the box is an incorrect description of the product and needs to be reworded to reflect the true design and function of this grappling hook. Since the seller, Martial Arts Land, via Amazon is not correcting the ad even thought the ad has been posted and displayed for as long as it has been, must be either indifferent or simply too lazy and disrespectful of their customers to permit such failure and inaction to continue.
For those reviewers that claim that this grappling hook folds must not own or have used the product.
Minus 1.0 for the grappling hook does not function as describe in the advertisement.
Minus 0.5 for the pointed tines on the grappling hook rest in an unsafe position.
Minus 0.25 for the hooks, after a hard landing, do not stay place, wiggle and spin.
Minus 0.25 for supplying with the grappling hook a low quality miss weaved rope.
Minus 0.25 for the seller not clearly stating that the product is miss labeled on the box.
Minus 0.25 for not sharing an image of the product box showing the hook disassembled not folded.
seems good Jun 06, 2010
Well, I just got this 3 days after I ordered it which I liked. It came disassembled but easy put-together. The rope wasn't tied to it so I'm going to search how to tie a good knot. The rope is very small in diameter so I think im going to need to buy a bigger sized rope. Product was heavy and feels realistic and not some light piece item. Overall I'd rate it good but can be better

 Super cool Feb 15, 2010
I've always wanted one and now I have a great grappling hook. Awesome product I recomend it to anyone looking to buy one.
AWSOME Feb 11, 2010
This product is easy to climb the rope that it comes with is WAY to skinny it can hold you and you can climb it (if your strong) but its very hard to get a grip on the rope but all you need to do is buy a thicker rope but otherwise GREAT product it makes me feel like a ninja when i hop a 30 foot wall with no prob XD

NINJA!!! Jan 25, 2010
This is a very fun item to have. The only problems i have had with it is the rope that it comes with is too hard to climb. i would suggest getting a longer rop and tying a knot about every foot or so on the rope.(depending on your reach with your arms and legs.) Other than that this is a great product, the hook stays locked in place very well and once you throw it where you need it it holds on tight! I would consider buying a second as a gift.
