The Squids 3178 Locking Aerial Bucket Hook features a self-locking exterior hook, a non-locking interior hook and an enclosed tethering point to save space and prevent dropped objects when working in cramped buckets.

The hook clips to bucket lips for safe anchoring of tool buckets, bags, aprons, tool lanyards and other equipment. The self-locking gate automatically locks when weight from a bucket, bag or other load is applied, preventing unintentional opening. Once pulled up to unlock, the gate will release and push the gear toward the opening for easy removal.

In addition to the primary locking hook, this aerial bucket tool features an enclosed tethering point at the bottom for additional tool tethering. It also features an open-ended interior hook for hanging aprons, tool boards or other gear—keeping them up and off the bucket floor.
