 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 toolMar 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.

 For the frugal, urban crimefighterOct 01, 2008
By Bruce Wayne
My experience with the product is limited to about 3 weeks of fairly intense use. I ordered this as a vital component of my ninja training, and it arrived rapidly and in discreet packaging. So far it has proven to be fairly sturdy and reliable. Build quality is good and is has held up well under regular use, though I would not place more than 200 lbs of load on the provided rope. I have used this to scale all sorts of urban environments in security and stealth, and the collapsible nature of the product allows it to fit comfortably on my utility belt. Once my training is complete, I fully expect this will be an invaluable piece of equipment in my one man crusade against crime. Evildoers beware!
