These Hooks Make Handling Loads Easier

These Hooks Make Handling Loads Easier Rich Passarelli had a paper route back in the winter of 1982. “During a blizzard, I was holding a trash bag full of newspapers for my route, and I wished I had a handle to make carrying all those papers easier.” As the architect of the Griphook family of products, Rich developed the current version of the Original Buckethook in 2006. “We took this to a stock show, and people couldn’t get enough of them. I was working full-time for FedEx and didn’t have the time to fully make or market them. We now have new sizes and styles and are bringing them back to help everyone from families to farmers and ranchers,” says Passarelli. The Original Griphook is great for carrying several bags and other items, like a gallon jug. It has a soft foam handle that makes carrying easier and more comfortable. It can hold a tire and rim or even two twelve-packs of cans. The Prohook (Gancho) can carry two fully loaded 5-gal. buckets or up to three potted plants at once. The Buckethook holds a 5-gal. bucket on a rail or stable, preventing water, feed or anything else inside from spilling. The Growhook can carry and hang potted plants on the same device. It holds a 5-gal. potted plant out of the reach of squirrels and other pests that dig up freshly potted plants. Its solid steel design and soft foam grip help you carry more. The Ultimate Gancho is a larger version of the Prohook and can carry up to an 80 lb. bale of alfalfa or hay. Made in the U.S.A., Griphook products are available on the company’s website for about $15. Orders over $50 ship free.
