I'm super pumped for this build, I've been subscribed for a while and I've watched all of your COD Mech Suit videos and I have to say, all of your work is extremely impressive. Keep up the good work and content!
You should put together the buttom half and top half of the exoskeleton and show what you are capable to lift or try to punch through a wall or something like that. Please never give up, I'm really looking into it.
For your next project you should make "The Silver Samurai's" Adamantium Katana w/ a fingerprint-scanner/button to ignite the Red Flame the sword gives off. Personally I found that the Silver Samurai's katana alone, could spark some REALLY Badass Conceptual experiments in trying to make the Blade of the katana "light up" from heated sources in the blade. for anymore information, just look up "The Wolverine" for results on what the Blade of the Sliver Samurai's katana looks like. Anyway, "Love The Videos, you guys are great, keep up the Amazing work, and good luck with your latest project".
Great idea and design! I really like it but the only thing I can think of that would be bad is if when u repel and u jump off the wall, sometimes the rope might loosen up and that would cause the hook to become loose. I'm sure u have probably already realized this, but i just thought I'd say it incase u hadn't. I'm excited to see this work and would possibly even build it in the future!
sick man love what you do! Watched civil war today and was thinking how cool it would be to make a type of webslinger, I know its probably near impossible but heyyyy haha
i see a huge flaw in the design(if using the spring) when going down a rope like that you could see that the rope was losing and gaining tension as he was just jumping on it slightly, now if you actually jumped or applied a lot of force downward wouldn't you just rebound back upwards, making the rope not have enough tension to keep the hook closed. If you have already thought of this bravo on you, but if not might be a sensible thing. I personally would go for a sensor on the claw that wouldn't let it open up unless the force is under (desired weight) for 10 seconds. would be a little bit long but this is just me.
+chuckach3w Something to be tested certainly ;-) you haven't seen the rappelling device yet! It's possible if you purposefully pulled really hard and hopped on the rope it would disconnect the gripper, but that would something you would mean to do =) A sensor would make it too complex I think, we're going for a robust but simple design, we had thought of having a locking mechanism with a second rope, but I think that system would be even more dangerous as you're going down!
Just a thought, if the spring will open it when tension is released won't rappelling be impossible? To rappel you need to basically let go of the rope and slide down it a little and continue. When you do this to go farther down the claw may release from whatever you have it attached to.
+Noah Corwin The weight doesn't disappear though when you rapell... You are essentially sliding down the rope, which your speed will be reduced by friction -- the only way for it to disengage is if you were to do a one-arm explosive pull-up, causing actual slack in the rope above you -- THEN it would release =) But if you're doing that you mean to do that ;-) You'll see in the test videos!
+the Hacksmith was just my thinking to keep safety in mind. Thanks for correcting me! Wouldn't want to see you get hurt and have to stop making these awesome videos
+Luke McCarthy it's cheaper and easier to make -- and a third of the weight. Considering the brittle acrylic plastic was almost strong enough, even aluminum would be over kill. We'll make two and stress test one though ;-)
interesting design! but wont the spring keep you from creating the tension required to close the hooks? It seems youll have to hold it in place and manually close it, then retain tension until you get in position to descend. Im looking forward to seeing more!!
It seems to me that this hook would be extremely difficult to 'throw', as grappling hooks traditionally are. I'm curious to see what you have in store for this little device!
so I'm trying to build a grapple gun Batman style just for the fun of it, but I'm having a hard time figuring out the air pressure I would need to have, and how to achieve it. so far I've figured I can't have just a straight up co2 injection, I need to feed into a pressure chamber, but I'm in need of assistance on the specifics. also, any ideas on how to increase the reel in speed (if I could get 1 m/s I'd be happy) without massively increasing the weight
+Alif Rabbaanee yeah I've been playing around with some ideas, but the problem with a winch is the size, which is why I'm trying to downsize it. if possible, I would like to keep it one tool, but problems keep coming up that almost necessitates two separate tools
If you put a spring onto it you won't be able to hook it any other way but by hand. You won't be able to shoot it and have it hook itself. Unless you only plan on setting it up by hand and then using it.
the Hacksmith Ah, it makes sense then. But still I hope you'll use some safety line when rappelling down a 50ft building, since if you let off the force just for a bit it will unhook. But yea, it makes more sense to me now. :)
+Macauley Cullen Aircraft grade aluminum is nothing to scoff at -- it's easier to machine, and a third of the weight of steel. Considering the plastic held... even aluminum would be overkill!
+Haywood Jablomey cause it doesn't have to be steel? Aircraft grade aluminum is a third the weight of steel and more than strong enough -- the plastic was almost strong enough and aluminum is still probably 10 times stronger than it!
+Video What It's cheap and easy to work with and CNC mill... third the weight of steel. The plastic was almost strong enough and aluminum has a tensile strength well over 10 times that of the acrylic... You do know airplanes and even Ford trucks use aluminum, right?
I've always dreamed of having an actual grappling hook
Remember that time you made the Batman grappling hook, and I wanted one?
🤣
I'm super pumped for this build, I've been subscribed for a while and I've watched all of your COD Mech Suit videos and I have to say, all of your work is extremely impressive. Keep up the good work and content!
50 ft building? please don't die
15 foot building
Im gonna enjoy watching your videos more if the camera quality is always like this
+Gavin Batman It's the same camera we've been using for the CoD exo videos...?
+the Hacksmith why is there a question mark?
+LOL because nothing has changed...
+the Hacksmith aww , ma bad :p
Maybe you just learned how to change the quality :p
put a magnet on the middle of the hook, that way the hook grabs and when you clim the hook closes.
You should put together the buttom half and top half of the exoskeleton and show what you are capable to lift or try to punch through a wall or something like that. Please never give up, I'm really looking into it.
Fantastic! Surprised that the first prototype held your weight- can't wait to see what the final product looks like!
+"Bohr"n on the same day as Niels Yeah! We're also probably going to make a miniaturized one too maybe out of steel!
nice flying pliers Hacksmith! I look forward to seeing the launching mechanism completed.
Is inspirational watching this video and watch what you all have become🥰🥰
For your next project you should make "The Silver Samurai's" Adamantium Katana w/ a fingerprint-scanner/button to ignite the Red Flame the sword gives off.

Anyway, "Love The Videos, you guys are great, keep up the Amazing work, and good luck with your latest project".
man, even for a prototype it was awsome. i already think of many types of desing for this kind of think but never this one.
it show promising
Im hooked on this series...
Pun intended?
Great idea and design! I really like it but the only thing I can think of that would be bad is if when u repel and u jump off the wall, sometimes the rope might loosen up and that would cause the hook to become loose. I'm sure u have probably already realized this, but i just thought I'd say it incase u hadn't. I'm excited to see this work and would possibly even build it in the future!
Will there be a device to fire the grappling hook?
+Kyle Rathke That's the tricky part eh?
+the Hacksmith Firing it is easy. Aiming it reliably is harder. Getting it to latch onto a wide range of surfaces is hardest. Good luck.
Just watched the vid with you demoing the finished product. Had to come here because I couldn't figure out how you were detaching the claw part!
Watch more of the videos ;-)
Uber cool
cool stuff I saw something like this on kickstarter as year ago called "Gravity Hook: A high performance grappling hook."
you should definitely try your hand at trick arrows like Hawkeye and Green arrow have.
have you ever thought about making a working "car-gun-thingy" like the ones on the batmobile(they come out of the car , shoot and then go back in)
Colin Furnze made one with a tuck tuck
While you are repelling, don't lift your arms above your head. If you do that too fast, the spring would pull back whilst your in mid air.
If you can make an iron man suit that would be the freaken coolist crap ever
god damn it James you are fucking fascinating, you are honestly one of the best youtubers out there
+OldFordas Haha thanks!
Another incredible series I will love watching! thanks Hacksmith!
1:54 - Your cellular phone is receiving data and next to a speaker.
thank you. I wanted to know what that was.
Coolest channel I've ever seen. by far.
I suggested this a while back and you said you would probably make it! Guess you were right!!!
Nice work! I cant wait to see what you end up launching this with.
+jonathan_g This one's just for rappelling like I said in the video, we'll have to revisit the design later to make it launchable ;-)
+the Hacksmith eventually will it be able to hold the exo whilst repelling?
+isaiah tesselaar of course!
I think you should be a channel base on Wonder Womans shield, lasso of thruth and maybe you armor
exoskeleton with bat claw = batman is his pre stages
Pretty cool,can't wait for more
If that hook were bigger you'd be able to do what Bale's Batman can do, ensnare enemies.
sick man love what you do! Watched civil war today and was thinking how cool it would be to make a type of webslinger, I know its probably near impossible but heyyyy haha
This is great! All your projects are amazing
Nice ! I hope you will make the launcher for it, that's really cool ! Thanks for the video !
Realy nice work
Mythbusters! Eat your hearts out!
I love Batman

Good job man cant wait for it!
Why are you going to be using aluminum instead of steel? Definitely one of the coolest things I've seen.
+Luke McCarthy it's cheaper and easier to make -- and a third of the weight. Considering the brittle acrylic plastic was almost strong enough, even aluminum would be over kill. We'll make two and stress test one though ;-)
I always enjoy watching your videos! Keep it up!
YES!!! Almost at Advanced Warfare Stage
I am so happy
interesting design! but wont the spring keep you from creating the tension required to close the hooks? It seems youll have to hold it in place and manually close it, then retain tension until you get in position to descend. Im looking forward to seeing more!!
+gamiensrule The spring is not needed to be that powerful, as long as it can pull the claw open. If it is weak enough, it wont cause any problems.
PerunaVallankumous Makes sense. The video made the spring appear fairly strong.
COD exo? Please say yes
It seems to me that this hook would be extremely difficult to 'throw', as grappling hooks traditionally are. I'm curious to see what you have in store for this little device!
+MrRoboticWarfare This one's just for rappelling, like I said in the video =) We'll have to revisit it in the future to make a throwable version =)
+the Hacksmith Ahh, I seem to have missed that bit, apologize. I'm sure you're familiar with Colin Furze's Assassin's Creed device?
u deserve 50 million subs, your awesome :)
This is off topic but you should make a second exoskeleton and put one person on each side and lift at the same time and lift the hole car 😀
EPIC!!! make more gadgets your like some super hero
Sweet buying it now but does it come with the rope and the repal handle as well
a bat uses the same Principle for sleeping. just because it is batmans garbling-hook
looks epic.
so I'm trying to build a grapple gun Batman style just for the fun of it, but I'm having a hard time figuring out the air pressure I would need to have, and how to achieve it. so far I've figured I can't have just a straight up co2 injection, I need to feed into a pressure chamber, but I'm in need of assistance on the specifics. also, any ideas on how to increase the reel in speed (if I could get 1 m/s I'd be happy) without massively increasing the weight
Probably you need a retractor for the rope kind of a winch
+Alif Rabbaanee yeah I've been playing around with some ideas, but the problem with a winch is the size, which is why I'm trying to downsize it. if possible, I would like to keep it one tool, but problems keep coming up that almost necessitates two separate tools
I'm hooked
when you are testing stuff that can snap above your head.....like this ghoock, would be wise to wear a small even bicycle helmet!
It was the orange strap that snapped
the hacksmith , do you think you can make a Halo Spartan armor for some next video?
You should do something from the video game assassins creed called the "hidden blade"
colin furze did one
now the challenge is if do you can make the Daredevil weapon you can make the Daredevil's weapon of the movie or of the serie
You should try making a backpack with guns (that don't shoot) that come out like iron patriots
sooooo gonna make this
one day,...
If you put a spring onto it you won't be able to hook it any other way but by hand. You won't be able to shoot it and have it hook itself. Unless you only plan on setting it up by hand and then using it.
+Atrax R Yeah... it's called a rappelling hook... ;-) I said this in the video. We'll revisit in the future to make it into a grappling hook.
the Hacksmith Ah, it makes sense then. But still I hope you'll use some safety line when rappelling down a 50ft building, since if you let off the force just for a bit it will unhook.
But yea, it makes more sense to me now. :)
Are their like plans or something so its possible to try this ourselves?
Super cool dude
you should somehow attach this to the exo and have a launcher to shoot it out
this is fuckin' sick
Do you still have the templates i am interested in making and seeing if I can cast the parts
+Nations Productions why would you cast them? Laser cutting out plasma cutting isf the way to go
You should improve "Myth-buster's" design.
HOW HAS THE US GOVERNMENT HIRE THIS GUY TO MAKE WEAPONS?!!??!?!?!
what?
Make the Black Panther suit!
what software did you use at the beginning of this video for the 3d stuff at 0:05 to 0:12
please do the claws of the black panther!!!:D
Excuse me,What have you majored in?
nice !
are you gonna rappel down your garage ?
+givingtnt ... He said a 50 ft building... If that wasn't just a joke, I'm sure they'll be using some kind of safety line as well...
I know this is a late comment but wouldnt a gravity hook be able to do the same thing?
The Hacksmith why did you take the grappling hook off of your etsy page?
isn't aluminium quite a soft metal? would you not want something stronger?
+Macauley Cullen Aircraft grade aluminum is nothing to scoff at -- it's easier to machine, and a third of the weight of steel. Considering the plastic held... even aluminum would be overkill!
This is awesome
I'm curious, have you guys ever done the grappling hook thingie from the Just Cause video game?🤔😊 Now that's a really good contraption.😲😄
Yup, got a video on it too
@@hacksmith - Ok, good cuz I'd like to see that one.😲👍🏾
Do u sell these, Cuz if you do, Imma by this thing for reals
nope sorry!
daym Daniele, that's so amazing, I can't wait! and when I heard webbing... I couldn't help but think web shooters: D
This superhero shit is getting old.
+James Biggar ...that's the whole point of the channel, what would you make if you had my tools/garage?
the Hacksmith I have my own. View my channel. You're wasting your talent dude.
Try to use TITANE for it !!! expensive but way stronger than aluminium !
To heavy to lunch out of a air canon!
Any idea of what program was used in the beginning?
+Houston Fgyu Solidworks!
+the Hacksmith Thanks, great timing on response!
it is not a rappelling device it is
grappling device
+Tim Barton keep watching. It's for rappeling
Can you put the plans on your website please ??
Are you going to build a launcher for it?
What software do you use in the beginning?
missed chance to call it The Batling Hook
Hi just subscribed
omgosh so cool!
my husband makes masks using a 3D pen. Mr.Ashley Hyde.
it would be cool to meet you and see your work in person. So Awesome
Are u planning on doing a tutorial
Could you make Spider-Man web shooters!
TPAI sent me here. Cheers!
Brent Garcia create and commercialise it
Yeah that's a lot easier said than done lol
the Hacksmith i am serious he really comercialise this type of grappling hook he call it gravity hook
the Hacksmith he is not commercial whit the gun but the hook he commercialise it I promise you
@@momotabtutino7842 dude, I am the Hacksmith.
Anyone know what the software he was using at the start?
+mega TA solid works
Thank you
Looking good, but why not use steel?
+Haywood Jablomey cause it doesn't have to be steel? Aircraft grade aluminum is a third the weight of steel and more than strong enough -- the plastic was almost strong enough and aluminum is still probably 10 times stronger than it!
