Rampant SPGHOOK Grappling Hook with Rope

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.

The hook is made of stout steel which appears to be strong. The rope provided is of good quality and the assembly was easy. The only negative thing I would comment on, and it is minor, is that the hook came unassembled and even though it had only 5 pieces it did not show where to put the spring. However, if you look at the picture you can determine the spring goes above the first hook section.

Wanted it to pull out wild rose bushes in the woods. Didn’t get one out. The shaft that was threaded where the hooks attach first bent and the snapped into. Lasted maybe 10 minutes.

Very strong well constructed even came with decent rope

Came as described but rope already had snagged on the hose.

Pro: grapple is sturdy and synthetic rope seems good quality. I intend to purchase another. Con: no assembly instructions is annoying. I purchased additional metric nuts and washers to beef up the flimsy theaded connection of grapple to rod.

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.

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.
