Ace Martial Arts SupplyNinja Grappling Hook, Hand Spike, Foot Spike, Ninja Belt, Tabi Sock, and Combo Set

This grappling hook came with a blacl corded roap and the 4 section twistable folding style hook. The rope I had to replace as it was like rope you would tie a small boat with, The rope was a large as the tip of my pinky finger. Now the hook after I aquired a larger rope, supported the weight of me and two other friends at one time 5 feet apart. I am 178 lbs, my two friends are 197 and 174, so I forces over 400 lbs onto this hook and we mad it safely to the top. Though it was slightly bent a little bit but some serious bending got it back in place. For a single person, it is unbendable, I will use this hook everytime. I can also tie the roap to my shinobi shozoku and the hook isnt that heavy, about the weight of a sunday newspaper packed with the christmas sales lol.

I bought this **NINJA GRAPPLING HOOK** for my boyfriend for xmas; I was elated, probably mostly due to the novelty of the item...Then it came in the mail and I found myself wondering, "Was this wise?" Don't get me wrong, my boyfriend is roughly the same size as your average Japanese ninja and he does work out daily, however, I digress...Thoughts of him attempting to repel off our balcony or fire-escape to almost certain doom or physical injury; not necessarily his own, but the four or so tenants of our apartment building, made me physically cringe. The man has boundless luck in terms of avoiding physical injury, but none what-so-ever when it comes to accidentally damaging property. Regardless, I opened the Amazon box and contained within was another box which housed the soon to be weapon of mass destruction...and tool of our certain eviction...The box itself was in horrible shape; it literally looked like it had be sent via lowest priority airmail, shot (by the looks of the curious hole in the bottom of the box), opened, then re-taped and sent to the amazon warehouse then to my door. That's a big negative in my book and really made me question the quality of the product, however, the 30ft or so length or rope that came with it was in good condition and the grappling hook itself was in pristine...No, I didn't give it a test run...Surely the results would have be worthy of a darwin award, much to the shame of my family and friends...My boyfriend has had several test goes with it now and says it works splendidly, he's used it mostly to scale brick and concrete walls around town, he DID have the notion to climb the roof but I quickly dashed that idea. More than anything, given our current urban environment, he really values the item for its novelty and agrees that anyone who is interested in ninjas/ martial arts/ or dare I say it...clandestine activities would appreciate this as a gift. That being said; I need to repeat, like so many other reviewers before me...That THIS IS NOT A TOY. It is the real deal, it's sharp and worst of all heavy...This is not the kind of thing you'd want a kid or teenager lobbing around the yard, or in the general vicinity of anything of value. This thing could seriously injure, or even kill someone or something if you hit them with it.

Manufacturer: did not send the correct claws. The brand and maker does not properly reflect on the box as it claims to be on the website.Shipping: uses USPS and constantly changing how the item can be shipped. Package was open and just barely in a bubble wrap folder.Comfort: pitiful. I had to make modifications primarily with leather padding sewn around the grip because I knew as soon as I touched them that it would bust the back of your hand wide open. Soooooo many burrs on the metal also! Dont use without leather and a glove.Sturdiness: only the claws themselves are sturdy the buckle and glove material are very sad.Overall: so while it is a hand claw it is uncomfortable wrong size it can cause immense self damage if you dont modify the recoil bar. And some other ridiculous things there is a chance for some refabricating because they are a template but nothing better.1/5 overall do not recommend want my money back

I bought this device to solve a serious tree trimming problem in my yard. I had an oak tree limb that could not be reached from the ground, or by ladder (without danger). This hook was perfect for grabbing the limb, putting tension on it and placing it in a position to be cut with a pole chain saw. This took some practice swings and learning how to throw it, but then it worked perfectly and I hooked the limb on the third or fourth toss. I recommend you steer clear of any electrical wires etc if you use it like I did. Also, comes with a hefty length of strong rope.

These aren’t great. The adjustability in size, and the way they fit your hand is pretty inconvenient and uncomfortable. Not a well designed product in my opinion. Only plus was the stitching and metal fittings were all solid and secure.

I used this to pull tall reeds and moss out of our muddy canal. It is the best tool that I have found for the job and yes very time consuming. Unfortunately after tossing it out hundreds of times, the rope came untied and I lost the hook. That was my fault because I didn't have it tied off with a long enough part of the rope at the hook loop. Yes. I ordered another one.

It was compact but strong, so I was able to carry it up into a tree, and use it to climb higher, safely.However, the rope is thin so I suggest tying knots ever 1.5' or so.Unless I am crazy, it seems also the wrong hooked piece was threaded.This meant you could not get the top hook piece to stay perpendicular if you wanted to retain the folding option.My solution was to put the threaded hook piece on top, which allowed them to lock together properly, but then folding becomes impossible.They are then always fixed perpendicular, and the spring function won't work.But that was no concern to me.

Sturdy hard metal. I’ve used them both to climb and catch swords in a dojo setting. Works perfectly and doesn’t break the bank. My only suggestion would be to add a thick leather piece over the palm instead but that can always be added later.
