I really enjoy this it actually helped my heel... i have had heel problems for quite a while now and i made this and my heel is better .............. i was also wondering if there was a way to launch it out of a airsoft gun or a launcher for it

Can we use ducktape to reinforce it?

I made one of these earlier this week and took it to school. I took it out of my pocket after I had finished my test (nobody else had finished), then my math teacher saw it. She came up to me, took it up, and told me it was a weapon and that I had detention. olawdy, what is considered a weapon by schools these days? (Our math teacher is like 60 or something-- maybe she thought it was a fishing hook?) Anyway, nice instructable. Very easy to follow.

 Next time use a mini camera stand when taking pics. It is a bit shaky otherwise it is pretty good

jjjjake says: Dec 31, 2008. 4:02 PM

temp in reply to jjjjakeFeb 8, 2009. 4:42 PM
2 big ones
jillg says: Sep 21, 2008. 8:31 PM
it works great! but instead of a small paper clip i used a rubber band. it was easier to hold together than bend a paper clip
mattdelux08 says: Aug 17, 2008. 6:24 PM
I don't really understand what it means by slide the clips on top of eachother to make them interlock some 1 wanna help me
bigpinecone says: Sep 17, 2006. 12:30 AM
this is awesome! i'm sitting here at my desk and i made one, i don't have any fishing line nearby, so i have to go to my room to get it =(
Redgerr in reply to bigpineconeJul 23, 2008. 11:57 AM
lol, almost worked ;)
mr.dr.prof.joel says: Jun 18, 2008. 5:51 PM
im sure this is the reason they were invented, because someone was to lazy to go inside a building and go up an elevator/stairs.
Redgerr in reply to mr.dr.prof.joelJul 23, 2008. 11:56 AM
lol climbing up a wall is probably harder than stairs so i think it would be more for extremists ;)
grimfig says: Mar 31, 2008. 2:49 PM
i cant figure out exactly what to do here i think you should upload a clearer picture
Constructo Man says: Mar 15, 2008. 4:34 PM
I am making a knex fishing pole/thing grabber, and was possibly considering this for the hook. Would you mind if I provided a link to this instructable for the making of the hook part? -Constructo Man
gbosbiker says: Oct 27, 2007. 9:40 AM
nice but I made a stronger 1 out of and old plastic coated metal coat hanger
the commentor says: Sep 8, 2007. 10:19 PM
Not bad, but i couldn't see too clearly on the second pic.
Unforgiven_God says: Oct 9, 2006. 5:53 PM
i've got a great way to shorten this instructable......buy some string for 10 cents and tie it to ur door handle!
Invader Grim in reply to Unforgiven_GodJul 21, 2007. 9:59 PM
yes but it would ruin the point of the grappling hook. duh
hg341 in reply to Unforgiven_GodJun 18, 2007. 9:21 PM
damm funny!!!!!!rofl lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

astrosapien says: Mar 8, 2007. 6:47 AM
That is really cool, but i can imagine the paper clips bending or breaking instead of closing a door.
lemonie says: Jan 28, 2007. 3:12 PM
What is it with the grappling hooks? I've seen three at least, and they're all paper-clip based. I'm unsure as to the value of these (if any).
