Firefighter Ben Singer from Catonsville (MD) Fire Station 4 sent in these images of a spiral weld grip on their hooks. The grip he made is a metal spiral welded grip that replaces traditional ways to wrap tools like oxygen tubing and medical tape. This grip becomes more permanent and needs little to no maintenance.

what’s the use of the hook with the large hook?
I’d imagine there’s quite a few uses. From drywall/plaster and lathe to rubbish or even as a handle when pushing a ceiling from the roof…
