Folding Grappling Hook Ninja Gear

This product was everything it claimed to be. It folds flat.

Being a desert hiker, I had hoped to climb sand/rock hills by throwing the grappling hook and pulling myself up. The hook usually skates over the surface and does not dig in until it hits a shrub or cactus. It could be useful in a group hike if one person gets to the top to hook it by hand. My expectation was wrong but I carry it in my car for emergencies.

We orderd this product to help remove lake weeds. It works great for that, It is well made and Im sure ninjas will be impressed with it.

The grappling hook is a pretty decent product for the price. I have no clue if would be effective in scaling a wall or whatever it is that Ninja's do, but it does work for latching onto debris in my pond and some pond dredging. I have noticed that other reviewers have found this to be a useful tool in yard work. I suspect that this product may be marketed incorrectly. A real grappling hook such as used by SWAT, etc. can cost over a hundred dollars and there does not seem to be anything in between a professional grappling hook and the Ninja grappling hook. As a niche product, it works pretty well.

This is OK for use in tree cutting although I did bend one of the tines on it. But I wouldn't bet my life on it for rappeling. But for the price it is OK.

Using it to help remove some tree from between 2 houses.
Throwing the hook into limbs, a friend pulls on the rope, while I cut it.
This way, we can control where it falls.
Might find other uses in the future.
