Pocket Grappling Hook

The pocket grappling hook was originally built by EOD Robotics, Inc. at the request of a desert warfare operator. He explained his need for a light weight, reusable grappling hook that could be used to snag trip wires or command detonation wires on IEDs in a combat environment. Soon other members of the military saw how useful they were and ordered another production run.

These hooks are not certified for life support activities and should not be used for any life support function. They are designed to pull trip wires and via horizontal use - “drag the pond!”

1. Versatile: Easy to carry, quick to deploy and quick to stow.
   Multi-mission capable: Maritime applications, SWAT, EOD, radio telephone operator
   Flexible: use it as a specialized grappling hook to remotely capture lines, tear down phone lines, reposition barbed wire emplacements, disrupt wires, move packages and bags, rake and break windows, tear down blinds/curtains in SWAT entry applications.

2. Remove the spikes from the outside and use it to cast a line. This is currently being used by military RTOs (radio telephone operators) to string field expedient HF antennas.

3. Use it as a waterproof storage container to protect important items from water damage (when the spikes are removed).

4. Materials: The body is made of T6061 aluminum. The spikes are made of 300 series stainless steel

The hook comes in two sizes, Pico and Micro, Specs as follows:

MICRO: After the success of the "pocket grappling hook", EOD Robotics, Inc. was asked to produce a even smaller version that can be easily carried and hand thrown or deployed with a fishing rod and affordable by the average soldier.
