HOOK & LINE KITS
Hook & Line Kits
The method of Hook and Line is designed to be used by EOD or high threat search teams. It is a semi remote technique used to move suspect devices or gain access into vehicles and buildings using a pulling line and specially designed tools. It allows tasks to be carried out typically at over 100m to ensure the safety of the team. It is a lightweight, non powered system that is quick and easy to deploy.
