Grappling hooks are very technical and there are numerous designs that work well when used for specific applications. I use them all the time to ascend ,advance through trees buildings poles etc. With proper training and knowledge they can be like in the movies!
Hey man, I am very interested in getting myself one. I’d love to be able to hook it up to a shed or roof building, climb up, and back down. Is it possible to find a whole set for under $150? Thanks bro
@@Funston5000 I’m making a grappling gun for me and my friend to use. We climb cranes and rooftops but there are some smaller but still cool rooftops that we want to climb that we just can’t because they’re too tall. I’m making the grappling hook gun not only for practicality, but also just for the love I have for building random sci fi bullshit. It’s almost done, and I’ve run a few field tests. It gets on top of buildings pretty well. I made it pretty much 100% out of random junk from the hardware store. It’s co2 powered.
I’m no professional but I do love using grappling hooks to get places I’m not supposed to be. A tip you could use to climb that rope better is to tie a bunch of knots up it so it’s much easier to climb
GSrider911 thats a alittle bit of a long story. 😂 So the parking around here is really bad if your not home by 8 pm then your screwd. And this garages are mostly used for storage. So we would just park in front of the garages. How ever you get a fine if you are parked in a driveway (even your own). So we worked it out with the town that if we block off the garages and curb the drive way they will allow us to pave half our yard and turn it into a parking lot. So that’s what we did and now can fit ten cars in there Instead of the 3-4 cars. They wanted posts in front of the garages to guarantee they wouldn’t be for more vehicles anymore.
I bought one of those hooks to retrieve some old tires from a shallow river. It worked great for that purpose. I don’t know if I will ever find another use for it. It might make a decent boat anchor. Thanks for the suggestion!
Gotta say this much: the steel hook can ABSOLUTELY take more weight than an aluminium cam, it just doesn't have the same grip quality and highly engineered build, put the same effort they put into cams into a grappling hook or even just a steel nut with a stem and I promise you it will make aluminium cams look like toys when it comes to load (while of course being much heavier).
No, it could work, if: 1: you had a grappling hook gun, and other equipment. 2, and most importantly: If you had no concern about the building your firing it at.
🤔 Well, you forgot the requirement that the grappling hook MUST have a self-launching mechanism, and the entire apparatus must easily compress down into a small enough form factor that it can fit into a Batman-style utility belt holster of roughly 2" x 3" x 1". That certainly shouldn't be a problem.....
@@HighlanderNorth1 his not talking about batman. Batman is obviously not possible. But they are saying it like the grappling hook is going to break if you use it. You can easily climb eith the grappling hook. Thats all idk where you get these other opinions from

It doesnt really look like it would grab much. The hooks look too small. I was actually just looking up grappling hooks because i was watching a movie from the 70s called hot rock where they use a grappling hook of sorts, but its very different. The "arch" of the curve is about two feet and they used it to grab the edge of a wall. By the way, extremely impressive watching you free climb the wall!
I have a grappling hook that I use while hiking. Never for climbing buildings or swinging across cliffs. I typically use it to help me down steeper trails. And I'm almost never throwing it. I'm usually manually placing and securing the hook to ensure I can safely slide down the trail.
@@randomassassin8898 My go to for getting down sketchy terrain that's not really on the trail exactly or maybe on a crappy trail is a big whip like leash of some sort (ok not just anything but obviously something made of a material designed for climbing purposes or something similar that can easily handle body loads and then some to be safe) to just sling it around a tree or whatever and then hold on to that as I move myself down to another tree and then just keep doing it that way so that I'm always holding on to something. It's probably not necessary sometimes but for me I really don't care, the peace of mind is worth it, so many people get hurt or die just scrambling around like that because it's so much easier compared to climbing that they get complacent but I don't think it's worth the risk sometimes to not be anchored in somehow and that's just such a quick and easy way to do it. All you have to do is keep slinging it around something and then wrap them around your hand enough times that it's not going anywhere and boom if you're like me and aren't willing to take risks on sketchy terrain sometimes I think it's a very nice safety valve if you do it properly.
@@Nightwishmaster thanks for the insight, if you're interested in something that's climbing grade. Then I would recommend the TR grabber folding grappling hook but depending on what site you get it from it can be a bit pricey

It's all the Brandy by I have a grappling hook that looks almost exactly the same but can hold two tons I don't use it for just climbing over fences and onto tops of buildings I can tell my tow if I need or if I fall off I've got a way to throw something on and get my way back plus I've tested these at least the good ones they're not impractical unless your mountain climbing or serious mountain climber if you just like the idea of grappling and climbing they're perfect this guy's only review is because he can climb of a building without one
Dude you should have thrown it. That is what I want to try. I need to climb something that is around three stories and I need to throw the hook up there.
I'm looking for something that can help me descend down steep hills to retrieve things for my archaeology work. Would a grappling hook help me with that?
@@Wasssup360 you can anchor off a tree as long as it is alive and healthy and about 10 inch wide or wider. You can then use a grigri to rappel and jumar to climb up. You should take some rappelling classes or go out with some one that knows what they are doing. Check out my how to jumar video.
@@BetaClimbers How can you even hold onto that rope sir? My hands are slipping off, is there some kind of a special rope for that, like gluey, sticky, non-slippery? I am a beginner so I would love to hear some advise from you. Thanks
@@BetaClimbers Ye ye ye I get your point but I dont want to be a "rock climber", I just want to be able to climb stuff, that means usually with the grappling hook just to get to a window that is higher and normally unreachable. Just a simple Pull the rope method.
Don't ever let someone tell you grappling hooks are useless and can't be used for climbing and swinging practically it can people just say that because they haven't taught themselves to use a grapple hook to their full human body potential
Yeah that one would probably do some damage but I read some where that a tree guy uses a small lighter version and tosses it between the crouches of branches to pull him self over maybe for a limb walk or something.
