The hook on a Swiss Army knife can be used for a variety of purposes. This multipurpose tool is also sometimes called a parcel carrier because it is useful for picking up things, like a hot pot or bottle.
Although this tool is not as powerful as the dedicated puller, it can still be an effective tool. There are 13 ways to use it, but only a little bit of creativity will make you a pro at using it. A hook on a Swiss army knife is used to attach a lanyard.
This allows the person wearing it, such as a soldier, to carry the knife around their neck for improved access. When you need to carry a parcel that is wrapped in string, an official can turn your knife into a hook that will help you.
The hook bob can also serve as a fishing lure or line, and the Swiss Army knife is also handy for a number of other tasks. I am sure after discovering some of these interesting uses of the multipurpose hook, you will start admiring it a bit more.
This is probably the most common use of the hook. You can put it in places that are too small for your fingers and pull out stuff. It is, in fact, thinner than any other tool in your SAK and hence can get into places where no other tool can. You can also use it to pull out threads or strings through heavy cloth or leather, or any other material. The Awl in your SAK can very well punch a hole through leather or any other thick material, but it cannot pull a thick chord through them.
Think about pulling a paracord through a hole. Can the Awl with its sewing eye pull it through a hole? It cannot because the sewing eye is not big enough for a paracord. But the multipurpose hook can do it effortlessly. Here you can see the hook in action pulling a paracord through a hole in a plastic bottle. I am sure you can think of other situations where you need to pull cords, strings, or wires through holes or narrow areas where the hook can be used.
The hook, when opened all the way past 90 degrees, can be used to hold the SAK in a standing position. It can then be used as a stand for your mobile phone. This can eliminate the need to carry around a separate mobile stand, in case you like watching movies on your smartphone this way.
This can be done in two different positions. In the first position, you keep the phone supported on SAK, the opposite side of the hook.
In this position, the hook might slip if the surface is smooth, unable to bear the weight of the phone. In such a case, keep some cotton or a rough piece of cloth below to prevent slippage. This will help the hook to have a firm hold on the surface and bear the weight of the smartphone. In this position, the smartphone will remain slightly tilted to the left or right depending on how you place it. This is perhaps the easiest use of the hook you can think of, but very useful.
You find someplace from where you can hang the SAK using the hook. This is easy as the hook can literary be attached to anything where the groove can get a hold of without slipping. Then you use the SAK itself as a keyring hanger. This can come in handy in case the pull handle of your cupboard has broken and fallen off.
The cupboard door may become impossible to open in such situations. Of course, you can use various tools to somehow force the doors open, but the hook provides a very elegant solution. Just insert the hook straight into the opening between the doors of the cupboard, then twist it 90 degrees so that the hook gets stuck on the other side of the door, and then pull the door open.
