Rigger Closing Hook

The Rigger Closing Hook is the "signature" closing device used at ChutingStar.

This is a great hand tool for closing reserve container flaps. The pullup cord is locked through the bottom of the hook as you move the temp pin from one flap to the next. It also works well on closing tight main containers. The "Hook" was originally designed by Georgia skydiver, rigger and instructor, Perry Thibedeau.

The Rigger Closing Hook is made of machined aluminum that is tumbled and polished. Available in two thicknesses: 3/8" and 5/16". The 5/16" thick version is engraved with the ChutingStar logo.
