Grappling Hooks by Maratac®
The pocket grappling hook was originally built by EOD Robotics, Inc. at the request of a desert warfare operator. He explained his need for a light weight, reusable grappling hook that could be used to snag trip wires or command detonation wires on IEDs in a combat environment. Soon other members of the military saw how useful they were and ordered another production run.
These hooks are not certified for life support activities and should not be used for any life support function. They are designed to pull trip wires and via horizontal use..
-
Versatile: Easy to carry, quick to deploy and quick to stow.
Multi-mission capable: Maritime applications, SWAT, EOD, radio telephone operator
Flexible: use it as a specialized grappling hook to remotely capture lines, tear down phone lines, reposition barbed wire emplacements, disrupt wires, move packages and bags, rake and break windows, tear down blinds/curtains in SWAT entry applications. - Remove the spikes from the outside and use it to cast a line. This is currently being used by military RTOs (radio telephone operators) to string field expedient HF antennas.
- Use it as a waterproof storage container to protect important items from water damage (when the spikes are removed).
- Materials: The body is made of T6061 aluminum. The spikes are made of 300 series stainless steel
Micro:
After the success of the "pocket grappling hook", EOD Robotics, Inc. was asked to produce a even smaller version that can be easily carried and hand thrown or deployed with a fishing rod and affordable by the average soldier.

IMPORTANT: The pocket grappling hook is not designed for life support applications and should not be used for such applications. As with all tools, use with extreme caution. This was designed to snag trip wires in a combat environment, not snag shopping carts full of rocks from a creek or whaling operations. Use the appropriate tool for the task at hand.
Got the pico and thought it would be the size of my thumb. It's small and can fit anywhere. I got it so I have a means to recover keys that may fall into a drain and similar situations. Usefulness is limited to the imagination. I plan on getting another and in other sizes.
This little pocket hook is amazing.
This is a great tool. Once you have it you start to use it in ways you wouldn't think of.
The grappling hook is a great device to have when the chips are down. Using one spike threaded in I was able to fish my keys out from a storm grate when a molle strap broke on my bag and sent my keys flying.
Already used the small one to fish car keys from storm drain for fair maiden in distress. Excellently machined and just cool to have on key ring.
