Courant Honos Tool Hook

The Courant Honos tool hook is a saddle storage hook for hanging a chainsaw, handsaw, or other gear within reach. It gives you a quick place to park a tool while you reposition, and it keeps the saddle organized.

Parking a tool aloft

Every climber needs somewhere to put the saw down when both hands are busy. A tool hook on the saddle gives you that spot, so you can park a top-handle saw on its lanyard, hang a handsaw, or hold a bag of rigging gear while you set a lanyard or tie in.

Mount it where you can reach it without twisting, and keep the saw on a proper chainsaw lanyard as well, so a slip off the hook does not mean a dropped saw. Consistency helps: always parking the saw on the same side becomes muscle memory.

Not for life support

Racking clips and tool hooks are made to carry gear, not people. Keep them visibly different from the connectors in your climbing system so nobody grabs one by mistake in a hurry. A different color or shape on the saddle helps, and so does keeping them on the gear loops only.

Check them now and then like any other hardware: a gate that no longer closes, a bent hook, or a cracked body means it goes in the bin. A dropped saw or handsaw can injure the ground crew, so make sure whatever hangs from the clip is secured the way the maker intends. Browse more saddle storage.
