Product Review:
The "Bear Klaw" Snow Hook
Not just your ordinary snow
hook. This light weight hook is made of a very hard steel
called "T-1" It has a minimum yield strength of
100,000 psi and an approximate Brinell hardness of 250-320.
Made to withstand what dog teams can dish out.
Designed by Howard C. Misner.
The "Bear Klaw" has been in use now for several
years and Howard says he has not seen or heard of any hooks
getting bent or broken. The one and only complaint is loosing
them and wanting a replacement. The design has been "field
tested" & fine tuned by mushers working closely
with Howard to develop the "Bear Klaw" into what
it is today.
One of the great features
of the hook is you can lift the "Bear Klaw" even
if the dogs are pulling on the tug line. Just lift by the
round bar on the back end of the hook, not by the step.
The design is such that the arc of the two hooks allow you
to roll the hook up and out. The flat bar on top is to use
when stepping the hook into the ice or frozen snow. By placing
your foot on both the flat and the round bar, the hook can
be set very deep and with out much effort.

Klaw" for their racing teams.
Once you've tried the Klaw
you won't go back.
