I need a strong hook to pull out of reach wild grape vines. These vines are the Superman of vines. Will this hook hold up for this?

It's pretty strong, I would think it will do the trick. Just make sure it is attached to the pole securely.

I cut my super strength vines at ground level. When they died and dried out it was easy to pull down with my hands. I used a product to kill roots at the base so they wouldn't grow again.

Yes, I'd guess that it would work for that purpose. The weakest point is probably where the hook attaches to the pole... so make sure you get a strong pole. Once the hook is securely threaded on your pole you'll be ready to do battle with those vines!

This is rust proof aluminum wire. It is relatively strong and capable of being stretched without breaking but is not nearly as strong as steel or even copper. I think it would be fine for grapes but may not last long as long as galvanized or other support.

Yes. It's actually pretty sturdy for the price. Not as sturdy as solid wrought iron, but I grew runner beans, morning glories, and clematis up this trellis last year and they did fine. I would think it could handle one grape vine on each side as long as you pruned them each year.

Being more fragile than citrus fruit I don't know if this would work well unless you were very careful. If the tomatoes are real ripe and don't need pulling or cutting off the vine, then yes. If you need to pull them (as you often do with citrus, then you will damage the plant, as it has no snipping ability. You would have to do it carefully. There is a foam piece on the bottom of the picker to soften the blow when the fruit falls (nice addition especially for softer fruit). The pulling on the plant is what I would be most concerned about. For citrus, I love mine!

It should work however I would consider a gas powered tool like a weed eater with a brush blade depending on amount and size. This would work great for finger thick vines but smaller stuff would give and not cut as easy.

Mine leans against the wall. I think that the vine is now securing it. However you could use cement nails in the concrete wall to secure it.

It may depend on how you secure it to the building but I think it will work, if strongly secured. I have large confederate jasmine vines on mine.

Yes, it can support grape vines horizontally. It can also be used as a horizontal support for tomato and pepper plants (instead of using stakes) and can also be mounted to the top of a pergola to create a hanging garden. Just make sure you create a frame for extra support.

You could use any one you want. This is a fine grappling hook! It has enough weight to heave good distance but not too heavy. It catches well in many environments.

If your put a small loop of string on your wreath, then hook it on the FrogsFeet it should be great. The hook on the suction cup is a little short, you could also spread the hook out with pliers. My wife always cleans the small area with rubbing alcohol or windex so it'll stick forever. We have NEVER had one fall off yet.We've hung something as heavy as 5 or 6 lbs. with no problem. Hope this helps, good luck. Hope this helps.

It'll do the job, but that's like using a flamethrower to light a candle. I had a similar problem recently and used a small hatchet to cut the vines and a good pair of gloves to pull after that.

I used a hook to hang from tree but does have 1 already. I need to make a covering a bit over top as rain ruins seeds. Right now I fill it up some but not full.

I can't wait to hang ours on our porch. Large screw in hooks can damage trees. I have seen a a regular swing hung with thick strapping. An arborist may have a suggestion.

The rope that comes with it is very sturdy, and the hook is well made and also sturdy, BUT I have no idea if it would work for your purpose, since that would be determined by your weight and other factors. Wish I could be more helpful, but I use it for tree trimming.

The location and the weight of the items is fine for the hooks. What would be a better idea is to find a hook opening which is a bit wider, which would help you on lifting the bike up as high as it seems you may need to. These hooks are not wide enough to give you the wider opening to catch the bike easier and quicker without you possibly having to try several times and becoming flustered and tired. These hooks can handle what you want to use them for, again, I would just recommend a wider hook opening.

I purchased these earlier this year for table grapes. I have four plants growing on them now and I have not had any slipping yet. We will not have full fruit for 3 years on our vines, so I cannot answer this fully yet. Ours are drilled into the wooden poles so the vices are holding well under the new growth.

Rather than confuse you with a bad description, I suggest you go to You Tube and look up "Hercules Hooks." These are the same thing and there is an old Billy Mays commercial (plus many others) that shows perfectly how to use these. It's very simple to do and the hooks are very strong, just as advertised. Hope this helps. (Also, the comments re drywall and studs in the previous answer to this question bear keeping in mind.)
