Handy Hook

04/24/2025

I heard this a few times a couple weekends ago, at FDIC. Firefighters who bought a pair of Handy Hooks with the original backplates were struggling to keep the Hooks secured to their gear.

That's why I redesigned the backplates last year to this new dog ear system, which secures tightly to your gear. Since the redesign, we haven't had this problem.

If you bought the Handy Hook with the original backplates, or if you know someone who may have, send them my way!

I'm replacing the original backplates with my Dog Ear Backplates. You'll also get a pair of C-Locks, which give an extra layer of security to the Handy Hook system.

Your backplates should look like slide 2 for the short version (Compact HH), or slide 3 for the long version (Don/Doff HH).

Send me a DM or go to myhandyhook.com/guarantee to quickly file a claim, and we'll get you set up! 🔥

Handy Hook
US Patent #12,239,176

It's been a long and grueling process, but I'm proud to say that after 4 years, Handy Hook was issued an official patent on March 4th, 2025. It encompasses 22 claims on the design for Handy Hook's unique don/doff assistance.

Thank you to all my supporters! You made the process worth it!

I look forward to continually improving HH for the Fire service and building a reputation in every glove necessary situation where speed, ease, and convenience for glove management improves the day in day out obligations of everyone.

At Handy Hook, we're confident in our products. I designed my Hooks to last on the fireground. But stuff happens, and Firefighters are capable of breaking an Anvil with a Rubber Mallet, as my Chief says.

That's why we now offer a 10-Year Guarantee our best-selling products: the Don/Doff Firefighter, the Compact Firefighter, C-Locks, and Dog Ear Backplates.

If your product gets lost or fails during fireground operations anytime in the next 10 years, we've got you covered.

No need to register your Handy Hook; they all come with the Guarantee!

Check out more info on myhandyhook.com. Conditions apply.

I love the Fact that 1 product can bring together International Collaboration because of basic fireground tactical improvements. Looking forward to working with Switzerland to adapt their glove style with Handy Hook.

Wondering the difference between the Don/Doff and Compact Handy Hooks? The basics are the same:
- Same locking mechanism, same size of Hook that grabs the cuff.
- Made of the same materials from the same local businesses.
- Mounting process and C-Locks act the same

But they've got some major differences. Check them out here.

A new hydrogen combustion engine has received official approval for sale and use across Europe.

JCB has marked a major milestone in sustainable technology with the approval of its hydrogen combustion engine for commercial use across Europe.

The company, which has invested £100 million into the groundbreaking project, is the first in the construction industry to develop a fully operational hydrogen-powered engine. After three years of dedicated work by a team of 150 engineers, JCB has secured official certification from 11 European licensing authorities, including those in the UK, Germany, France, and Spain.

This approval paves the way for the commercial sale and deployment of hydrogen-powered construction and agricultural machinery, with additional countries expected to grant certification in 2025.

JCB Chairman Lord Bamford hailed this as a historic moment for the company and the industry, emphasizing hydrogen’s potential as a zero-emission solution for heavy equipment. Already, over 130 hydrogen-powered engines have been produced, powering JCB’s backhoe loaders, Loadall telescopic handlers, and generators.

These machines are undergoing real-world testing at customer sites, demonstrating the feasibility of hydrogen technology in demanding environments. With this significant regulatory approval, JCB is positioned at the forefront of the hydrogen revolution, setting a new standard for sustainable innovation in heavy machinery.
