Gotta respect this man's simple love for his hook! I too have begun using the hook to tie my shoelaces. When people give me funny looks I use the hook as a substitute middle finger.
One trick I've never seen is using the hook to fish out a drawstring that has gone inside the garment. I've had occasions when I washed sweat pants or something when the drawstring got into the channel. You can push the hook in, scrunching up the fabric as necessary, and hook the hook behind the knot in the drawstring and pull it out.
Felix, I’m glad you’ve made this video because nearly every Swiss Army Knife owner talks down on the hook. I’ve never seen one person say that the hook has been useful but that only shows that people aren’t using their SAK to its full potential. Thanks for another useful video.
Not going to lie, I have the Chief of Scouts award and I've never been able to figure out what the hook was for! My knice is nice and weathered except for the hook! Thanks for the tips
Majority of these trips are rubbish: 1 pass the string over whole tool, let string dangle between fingers 2 clamp pen behind any other tool 3 magnets can be stored near the corkscrew 4 use other pegs or cork screw 5 use flat head screw driver as lever 6 use can opener as hook 7 cut away the frailed bit with knife of scissors 8 eyelet in wire can be made round other tools, but I must admit, the hook would work the best, non the less, I've never needed making an eyelet in with 9 use your wallet to prop your phone up 10 twist hook screw, use another tool as lever 11 tension spring - ok, maybe, but really how often? 12 mount chain - fraid I'm gonna get some grease on two of my fingers 13 modification - dunno what's that for
Tip #15: that hook can also be used to tighten bicycle spokes. It takes a little practice and it's a bit slow, but if you don't have a spike wrench with you, then the hook will get the job done.
Love everything about our little Swiss knife “community” lol just a question is it normal for the hook to have some play going backwards into the liner of the knife? Mine doesn’t really “lock” at 90 degrees as I can continue to push the hook slightly farther back
I use the hook to peel oranges. The depth of the hook is quite similar to the average thickness of an orange peel and is great for removing the peel without cutting the fruit or getting pith under your fingernails.
My father is a Geologist, and in his field work he often used the hook to grab barbed wire and pull it apart so he could cross (with the property owners's permission, of course). I've used it sometimes to tighten knots, with a bowline on the loose end I could make a very strong and tight hitch or lash.
I use the hook as an improvised pocket clip: place the hook on the outside of the pocket, pointing down. Close the hook and twist the knife so that it goes in the pocket. Voila! This way, the knife is held in place at the top of my pocket and not getting in the way of keys/lighter etc. Love this channel. Keep up the good work :-)
You're making swiss army knives great again! My niece thought my collection of pocket knives were old and not cool... now she wants a swiss army knife! Keep it up!
They never stopped being great. People just got caught up in the multi-tool (pliers) hysteria. Don't get me wrong, I like them. But they are better suited for use in civilization. I'm not a fan of using them as a "survival"camping tool. They're bulky, holding them in extreme cold is EXTREMELY unpleasant, and they're heavy. I know I know, only a few ounces. Just take it from a thru-hiker and survivalist. They're heavy. Pliers actually do come in handy for both camping and survival uses. They allow you to make extremely tight knots, crack nuts...... um.... hmmm... nevermind, they suck for camping/survival. LOL.. They don't, really. They have their place in a survival kit/bug out bag, but they get more use as a camping tool. The SAK is lighter, easier to find if you set it down on a wooded area and lost track of it, and they do everything a multi-tool can, except for take requiring a pair of pliers. I just buy a mid-range pair at a home improvement store, needle nose, and Todd them into the bottom of my backpack. For any circumstance where you REALLY NEED a pair of pliers, the multi told fall short. If rather have a full size pair off pliers that are NOT held together with two scrawny stainless steel pins.
My dad got me the Swiss army knife camper when I was in boy scouts and I'm so glad he did because I've used it every day since I love your videos Felix I watch him a lot because of my love for Swiss army knives and you're very very very knowledgeable and fun to watch
Wow great video 😀! I have carried a climber, or super Tinker for the last 20+ years and never used that tool! Also great for older people who lose hand strength!
I believe this is the first time I've pressed like on a video after only just 1.5 seconds. I love your presentation style, and the video is very informative, thank you!
Just love these videos. I've always had pocket knifes on me since I was a little kid, my father and grandpa told me to carry them as a tool. Since I watch your videos I carry my SAKs more often again instead of just the fixed blade knifes I own. And I try as many of your tricks as I can. ;)
Ich finde Deine Videos echt toll. Ich wuchs mit dem SAK auf (da Jungwächter), aber bei Dir entdecke ich immer wieder neue Ideen. Gerne erinnere ich mich auch an den Abend im Transa in Luzern (paar Jahre her...), als wir Deinen Kurs mit einem feinen Fondue mit selbst geschnitzten Gabeln abschlossen. :-) Danke Felix, mach weiter so!
The first time I ever found a good use for my parcel hook was on a spring, actually, only it was for a mattress frame instead of a trampoline. Cool video!
I watched the “how to” mod the hook before this one. I think you’ve got me “hooked” on the hook. I’m thinking it’s more than just a place holder on the back of the knife. I’m particularly fond of it being used to pull through a frayed shoe string. 👍👍 Great video!
I primarily think of the fish scaler as a ruler. The fish scaler, hook disgorger are just so that space isn't wasted on JUST a ruler. You should know how long your knife is with the ruler extended, count for many knife lengths long something is, then use the actual ruler blade to get an exact measurement of the last few centimeters or inches.
Ich habe soeben abonniert. Was Sie mit dem Schweizerarmeemesser machen können ist unglaublich! Ich habe so viel gelernt einfach vom Zuschauen! Ihre Videos sind klasse! Sie sind ehrlich gut! Danke!
I remember being told it was used by postmen to carry heavy boxes at the time here in Switzerland all boxes needed to be tied also with a string. A heavy box could really cut in your skin and that's when Victorinox came up with this hook to transform the knife in a carrying handle. Now we don't tie our boxes up with string and this use has been forgotten.
Finally! - Trampoline spring setting will take seconds, instead of more seconds!! - Seriously though, some of these I didn't think of. Thank you for making this video!

Hi Felix, another great video. One more tip for hook. When you show that bike chain, another tip for bike is to tight up those spike-rays on wheels. It fits perfectly on those little square planes. Have a nice day and I´am looking forward for next video of yours..
@@anthonymascis9833 it was a joke answer on felix question for other uses for the hook it says: you can use it to land a jet on an aircraft carrier even if you haven't got a hook for the arresting wires on your plane and yes, danke means thanks ✌
Wow! For me this is the most practical tip by far. And I haven't heard that in any "how to use the multiple purpose hook" video, although I have watched several of them.
I find the hook to be one of the most interesting tools on the Swiss Army Knife. As somebody that does a lot of camp cooking they’re great for Bush pot handles when they’re hot, I also like to carry firewood with them. Our use the pen technique quite often on my compact. Going to try the magnet thing I have lots of those tiny magnets.
Felix, I never thought that I'd say this, but, "you missed a trick!" Funny thing is, you called it a 'parcel hook', I've always called it a button hook. It's great for doing up those fiddly little and tight cuff buttons. Love your tips and tricks videos and look forward to them each week. Cheers and all the very best to you 👍
I'm not sure about 80 kg. But I saw a video from an Asian man on UA-cam. He was carrying himself with the hook attached to a bar.. Well, he was slim and not heavy, but this hook is of good quality.. Still Swiss made.. 🇨🇭
Wees da whook you can crush your enemies, see dem driven befow you and hear da lamentation of dare weemon. But seriously, this was oddly entertaining. Willl watch more of your videos.

You do not need a loop to put hook into string to carry things or pull on. Wrap string one full turn from the back of the hook to the front and pull... It automatically traps the string and gives a lot of strength in pulling or carrying with a very easy release
Cool video Felix, I knew most of them but the cell phone holder was new and cool, when you are carrying the wood bundle you can put the hook closer by using a half hitch :-) I'm keen for next one to see what you do with the modified tip.
Hey, he knows about the cellphone holder! I open my combo tool and can opener, set the phone in the combo tool's hook, then lower the can opener down until it holds the phone. 👍

I used it to fish
Man I am only getting huntsman instead of tinker or the other ones it that hook (thinker doesn't have a hook and a saw)
That people aren't using their brain mainly... 🙂😅
@@arda6874 how's that Huntsman doing ?
It comes in handy when you’d least expect. I actually use it quite often

Majority of these trips are rubbish:
1 pass the string over whole tool, let string dangle between fingers
2 clamp pen behind any other tool
3 magnets can be stored near the corkscrew
4 use other pegs or cork screw
5 use flat head screw driver as lever
6 use can opener as hook
7 cut away the frailed bit with knife of scissors
8 eyelet in wire can be made round other tools, but I must admit, the hook would work the best, non the less, I've never needed making an eyelet in with
9 use your wallet to prop your phone up
10 twist hook screw, use another tool as lever
11 tension spring - ok, maybe, but really how often?
12 mount chain - fraid I'm gonna get some grease on two of my fingers
13 modification - dunno what's that for
Felix is almost a motivational speaker. He’s always happy!
Thanks a lot Javier!
Who would give this a thumbs down? It was worth watching as a cyclist just for the chain and eyelet tricks alone.
Thanks a lot!!
Can’t stress enough how useful the hook is to setup or disassemble a trampoline. Hands down the best and most unique use for it
Thanks a lot for your comment!
yeah this is brilliant. I didn't even know I had the right tool for the job already in my pocket

Hello Ian. Thanks a lot for this valuable inspiration!
Yes originally called button hook back in the late 1800’s
Yes, also good for pulling through reluctant cuff links. And aren't they always resistant?
I'm hooked. I also think this was a nice glimpse in to the swiss mentality and ingenuity.
This hook is rated for 80kg, I believe. I've used it to carry 10 liter paint buckets and also to pull smaller nails from wooden boards.
Oh, i am not sure about this 80 Kg.... Thanks for your inspiration!
@@FelixImmler Read it somewhere... I don't remember, maybe even in one of Victorinox's leaflets?
