Technical Details

I acquired my CMI Grappling Hook from CMI in 2009.

This CMI Grappling Hook is 318 mm. tall, 218 mm. wide, 203 mm. thick, and weighs 1274 g. It consists of five hooks welded to a central shaft. The lower end of the shaft appears to be welded to a ring. The hooks, shaft and ring are all made from 12.5 mm. steel, and coated with a thick black paint.

There are no markings on this grappling hook.

Comments

Warning:
Don't trust your life to a grappling hook.

This hook appears to be sturdy, but CMI attached a mangled sticker with the following warning:

Warning

This product is not intended for support usage. It is
intended for use as an extendable pair of hands and
should be used with this parameter in mind. Any other
usage is strictly prohibited and could result in serious
injury or death.

Well I don't know why they think they have the authority to prohibit other usage, but the injury and death part is rather obvious. I think we could have figured that out for ourselves.

Although this hook is nicely made, it is rather large compared to the others in my collection, and it does not fold for transport.

For far more content, use a larger monitor and a full-width window.

Hundreds of cell phone users complained and asked me to for a simpler, mobile friendly site. In particular, they wanted me to limit each page to a small number of pictures and minimize my use of text. This new site provides what they asked for.
