AFS • XS
The XS is a gravity assisted mechanical claw. When it touches down gravity pushes the jaws open. Lifting it closes the jaws around your prize. The design is based off of the original Gravity Hook. This one is just eXtra Small. So whether you dropped a sock behind the dryer or you need a little entertainment at the DMV, you'll have the answer in your pocket.
Material: Stainless Steel
Approximate Dimensions: 2"x2"x3"
WARNING: Gravity XS has not been tested or certified to bare human weight.
Never use it where failure or dislodging might cause bodily harm or property damage.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in severe injury, death, or property damage.
Not intended for climbing or load bearing applications where failure would cause damage or injury.

Fun and more useful than you'd think
I also have the 2.0 and 3.0 hooks, which obviously offer more utility than the XS simply because of their size. The XS is entertaining, and a few minutes of practice was enough to start picking up things as small as a dime. It's also about the perfect size for grabbing cigarette lighters. You're not going to pick up a dropped heavy rucksack or even a phone, but the XS has enough power to pick up a full Yeti thermos (with a handle lid that's skinny enough to be grabbed). This thing is also pretty good at snagging cloth, so it could retrieve dropped clothing in a pinch too. I've read several reviews by people with mobility issues that go into more detail about all the tiny items they use it on. Indispensable piece of gear? No. Well worth $22? Absolutely.

Back fusion
I just had a major spinal fusion t-10 to ilium. I bought this to have for a pocket grabber. Especially in stores if I drop something to try to get. Tie a length of paracord and your good to go. A real handy item to have in your pocket.

Fun little gadget
Still practicing grabbing things with it, but my friends and I have been having fun with it. My boss even immediately found a use for it.

tiny
I have one Gravity XS, two Gravity Hook 2.0 SS's and now this Gravity Hook 3.0 (larger one). The XS is so small, that even when taking the spring off of it, it barely has enough weight in and of itself to open the jaws (to pick something up). However, this is my boys' favorite hook of the ones that I have (perhaps because its easier for them to bring with them when they go outside to play). I can't really seem to pick anything up useful because most things I'd like to pick up have a larger girth than the mouth of the XS. The 2.0 is my favorite. The weight of the hook allows it to open when contacting most things it's being lowered onto so I can pick them up and the mouth closes pretty well around whatever I'm trying to pick up. I find this to be very useful when I'm up in a tree and I need another piece of climbing gear I left on the ground. I simply lower the 2.0 gravity hook, and pick up another carabiner, another descender, or a rope. I like how the hook operates on it's own weight (opens and shuts completely with minimal fuss). Conclusion: If I could do it all over, I'd just go with the 2.0 as it's the size I find I need the most. The XS seems more for fun/novelty than anything useful.

Awesome
Great product vary functional and it has a great quality vary strong I do recommend a reel because without it it could get stuck on things and pull you and with the reel you have a little time to notice it's stuck on something

Everything promised. Can't get enough of it. Well made, useful, and even fun. Ordered 2. Might get more. I wove a double chain out of 850 to compliment it. Keep it up!
