The Lightning GT hook offers a breakthrough in personal escape anchors. By integrating a gated hitching slot with a traditional hook anchor, firefighters now have the option of an easy to rig remote anchor. No need for complicated knots, tied in the dark with bulky gloves. Simply double click through the gated hitching slot and move to the exit. Weighing less than 8 ounces, and precision machined from 7000 series aluminum for strength and durability, the Lightning GT is the lightest, most versatile anchor hook available. Pair it with the F4 device and a Sterling Escape Rope to create the most versatile firefighter escape system ever. Made in the USA.
