This V-Threader retracts for compact storage and protection for the hook. Made of stainless steel in a polypropylene sheath, the sharp hook snags your webbing, cord, or rope to pull it through the V-thread. To use, grasp the tool like a ball point pen. Bend the top with your thumb to expose the eye and push out the hook. Grab the tip (careful, it's sharp!) with gloved fingers or hook it and pull firmly to extend fully and wedge in place. To retract, squeeze the wedge and push the hook back into it's sheath. Only 5-5/8" long and weight 10 grams, but extends to reach your longest 22 centimeter screw. Racks easily on a carabiner when not in use. Also effective to clear ice from inside the screw, retrieve gear from cracks & crevices, and remove hair from the shower drain.
