I've carried that hook on many adventures in the field over the years and it's been my go-to field hook for some 40 years—until now. Recently, I've revisited the design with the goal of offering an affordable snake hook of the very highest quality. I wanted it to be both functional and beautiful. Perhaps more importantly, I wanted it to still be functional and beautiful after decades of hard use. Some quite popular snake hooks use aluminum for the hook. That keeps it more balanced by keeping the hook lighter at the front. However, aluminum is not very strong and it doesn't age well. I didn't want my hooks to look like they'd been dropped off the back of a pickup too many times after a few years of real use. Could I make it stainless steel and still keep it well balanced? After experimenting with many approaches it became clear that I couldn't limit the design to off-the-shelf components. So, I designed something completely new—a solid copper ferrule to attach the hook end to the shaft. Now the thickness of the stainless steel can be sized for the strength needed and not just sized to plug the hole in the end of the shaft. This one simple design innovation creates a snake hook unlike any other hook on the market. The result is the Copperhead Series™ Snake Hook, the Balanced & Rugged Hook™. The moment you hold one in your hand, you'll see for yourself.Also available in a 33" cage length version. Review: Once again, it pays to buy high quality tools - This is a really well-made snake hook. It’s light, well-balanced, and shows a nice attention to detail, right down to the copper ferrule and the subtly eased edges and points of the hook. It’s sharp enough to get under a snake, but not sharp enough to inadvertently cut or puncture the snake. The golf club grip is just right. Plenty of room for two hands, if needed, and fits the hand nicely. I’m glad Doc went with stainless over aluminum for the hook - it’s less brittle, and much more durable. Plus the finish is much nicer. This hook is for use in the yard, although I could see carrying it if I’m going into the nearby woods during snake season. I wish I’d had it back in the day when I went on collecting trips during my undergraduate years studying biology. But we have a fair number of snakes around here, so I expect it will get plenty of use. There are cheaper hooks out there, but I bought this one because of the reasons mentioned above. Hard to tell from a written description and a few pictures; it turned out to be even better when I had it in my hands. Very well worth the money, in my opinion. Review: Lightweight but Sturdy! - I am thrilled with this hook! Our neighborhood is dealing with a large rat snake population explosion this year, and I’m trying to help them to safety. Being that these guys are fast and spooked from being constantly chased by shovels and the neighborhood poodle patrol, I’ve been using the hook to get them into a bucket and relocate them to somewhere more hospitable. I’m dealing with snakes between 3-7’ long and this is a great hook to have on hand. It’s extremely sturdy unlike the retractable ones, but lightweight. Easy to maneuver but light enough not to stress the snakes out too much. It’s definitely a handy tool to have nearby and it will be getting plenty of use throughout the summer. ## Features - BALANCED - a unique copper ferrule allows for a lighter, more balanced hook without compromising strength. - RUGGED - materials like copper and stainless steel combine to make a tool designed for real work. - SAFE - a secure rubber grip, light weight and hook geometry allow you to safely catch, control or move reptiles. - BEAUTIFUL - a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail result in a hook that's a pleasure to use. - RELIABLE- a professional tool crafted in the USA and built for many years of reliable use. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01MZH6TPT | | ASIN | B01MZH6TPT | | Best Sellers Rank | #44,813 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #9 in Snake Handling Hooks | | Brand Name | DocSeward | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (766) | | Date First Available | February 5, 2017 | | Date First Available | February 5, 2017 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 43 x 1 x 4 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 43 x 4 x 0.25 inches | | Item Weight | 8 Ounces | | Manufacturer | DocSeward | | Manufacturer | DocSeward | | Product Dimensions | 43 x 1 x 4 inches; 8 ounces | | Size | 43" | | Target Audience Keyword | reptiles, snakes | ## Images ![Snake Hook, Copperhead Series for Catching, Controlling, or Moving Snakes, Stainless Steel & Copper, Field Length (43 inches) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8187jtUm5eL.jpg) ![Snake Hook, Copperhead Series for Catching, Controlling, or Moving Snakes, Stainless Steel & Copper, Field Length (43 inches) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61y51H8swSL.jpg) ![Snake Hook, Copperhead Series for Catching, Controlling, or Moving Snakes, Stainless Steel & Copper, Field Length (43 inches) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613jD5c-y2L.jpg) ![Snake Hook, Copperhead Series for Catching, Controlling, or Moving Snakes, Stainless Steel & Copper, Field Length (43 inches) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61say3QEHuL.jpg) ![Snake Hook, Copperhead Series for Catching, Controlling, or Moving Snakes, Stainless Steel & Copper, Field Length (43 inches) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71en57+IoxL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: where is this made in/manufactured?** A: I personally manufacture each hook in the beautiful state of Colorado, USA - Mark Seward. **Q: What part of Colorado are you in?** A: I'm in the Sacramento, CA area **Q: Is this hook large enough to lift an 11 lb red tail boa?** A: The hook opening is about 3.5 inches. I suspect you would want a larger hook if you intend for the boas body to fit easily in the hook. If you just want a hook to control the animal in the cage, this should work (the 33" version would be better for this in my opinion). It depends on how you plan to use it. Does that help? **Q: Would this work for a full grown boa or should i get a bigger size?** A: It’s pretty sturdy but I would get something with a wider hook for a boa. It would likely work but wouldn’t be very comfortable for a large snake. Look into gaboon hooks. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Once again, it pays to buy high quality tools *by M***M on July 16, 2020* This is a really well-made snake hook.
