Designed by soldiers … for soldiers
Designed by the Army Natick Soldier Center, the Capewell Retractable Grappling Hook is the ultimate solution for scaling buildings and cliffs, boarding boats or clearing hazards.
Powerful - constructed of high-strength steel, it supports over 1,600lbs (or six 268lb men!).
Convenient - compact, lightweight (only 1.5lbs) and easy to operate, it offers maximum mobility and safety.
The Retractacle Grappling Hook offers a material edge to first-responders and special operations soldiers. It folds up into a compact, portable cube weighing less than 1.5 pounds, it doesn't get hung up accidentally while being carried, it can be thrown farther, which offers greater mobility in scaling obstacles, and it affords greater distance in clearing hazards.
Most grappling hooks are large, heavy, bulky, and risky to use because the breaking strength of the metal is largely unknown. To improve the safety of this useful equipment, engineers at the Natick Soldier Systems Center in Massachusetts developed super new lightweight, high-strength materials that cut the weight and bulk by 50% over the standard grappling hook. Capewell has licensed this technology and will mass-produce a high-quality retractable grappling hook for diverse markets.
