Overview The DMM Captain Throwing Hook Kit blends rigorous machining with practical field usability. Its self-locating hook is crafted for reliable anchor engagement, while the pivoting D-Shackle minimizes torsional resistance as you position between anchors. With a rated strength up to 18kN (dependent on anchor quality) and a max anchor diameter of 90mm, this tool is designed for demanding canopy work and rope-access tasks across varied environments. In real-world use, the Captain shines when you need precise placement and smooth traversal between points. The hook’s sculpted form and the D-Shackle interaction help you locate anchors consistently, reducing guesswork in challenging anchors and reducing friction during setup. After use, the hook racks neatly on a harness, helping you keep gear organized and ready for the next move.
