Description

NIOP Hook


The NIOP Hook is a passive device that holds a closed grip with a silicone band but does also have a connection for an optional drive line. It uses the Q-C Wrist.


​The hook’s unique shape allows it to grab and be used just as a traditional hook device, but it also has a special groove in the back of the hook to hold the handles of objects like pots and pans. It also has a smaller groove running perpendicularly that allows it to hold small tools like pens and pencils.


The chiseled point on the hook should allow the user to pick up very small objects with fine precision.
