Review on 3-Claw Stainless Steel Grappling Hook For Outdoor Hiking, Anchor Retrieving & Tree Limb Removal - MHDMAG Carabiner Climbing by Stephen Hobbs

So this hook is big, very well made and impressive. The reason for 3 stars and not 5 is that as soon as I saw the carabiner I thought what a cheap looking thing. The hook is solid and I have no doubt could hold a lot of weight but that carabiner. the locking mechanism is flimsy and loose. I should have gone with my gut and replaced it with something I was more confident of. I have a small man made pond that has had branches fall into it over the years. While using this hook to remove the branches and what ever had ended up in it with my nephew we got about quarter way around the pond pulling dozens of branches of all sizes from the pond my 10 year old nephew tossed the hook another time and when he began to pull the hook in he mentioned that it felt really easy. The next part got me. I thought he was goofing me when he asked where the hook was but that was not the case. The cheap carabiner's locking nut I guess you would call it had managed to unscrew it's self and now I have a grappling hook in my pond somewhere. The water temp is well I woke up to 3" of snow on the ground today so going in is not an option even if the water was clearer. I'm trying to clear up the water as it has gotten murky and though spring fed I can't see more than a couple of feet down. I will purchase another hook but not waste my money on the rope. Wish they would have put a better carabiner on it.
