I've seen inexpensive grappling hooks in Army surplus stores.

The ones I've seen on ebay are IDENTICAL to the ones I've seen at surplus stores, same packaging and everything, so I'd imagine it'll be every bit as reliable for usually like half the price, so ebay would be my bet. That's actually where I plan on getting one.

I saw one in the Brigade Quartermasters catalog. It was kinda pricey but appeared to be top notch.

I don't use them, but it would seem that if you are climbing up something tall enough to require a grappling hook, you probably wouldn't want cheap equipment.

I got my grappling hook at a local knife store. They also sell lock picks. Kind of a nutty store to have in a mall (Calgary Northhill Mall).

The hook and rope was fiddy bucks.

They don't carry lockpicks anymore - at least not the last time I went there. They always had them under the counter and were hush-hush about them. I do believe they still have grappling hooks though.

They used to be the ones that ran lockpicks.ca - but the website is now defunct.

Don't have one of these so I can't say how the quality is, but they are inexpensive.

That's pretty much the exact same hook you'll find anywhere. chances are there's dozens of different manufacturers of them though. unfortunatley there's usually no way to find out who made them

I can't really recommend those cheap ones. I've owned several over the years and had them all break eventually. Luckily, never when I was at a significant height. I suppose they're ok for getting over walls and other low height scaling, but I wouldn't use one to reach a height I wouldn't want to fall from.

Here's a pricier alternative. Sure it costs a pretty penny, but if it's good enough for the Special Forces, it's good enough for me!

I agree. I would only use the cheap ones for relatively low walls and such. I wouldn't try to climb a six story building with it. The though of it failing at the fifth floor isn't too pleasant.

A quick question here, if you repel down the side of the building how do you get the hook off?

I suppose if you flick the rope, it might knock the hook loose.

I've always used just a flick of the rope to dislodge it. Might take a few tries, but it'll work.
