Handy Hook is a single-handed glove donning system built for firefighters, and designed by a firefighter. They mount securely to bunker gear using metal backplates –no holes in the gear, they just pinch the fabric together– and allow first responders to quick-don gloves. By pushing their wrist against the black body of the Hook, where the logo is located, the user can push down and out, releasing the glove with their hands already inside. The “hook” part of the tool acts like two fingers pinching the gloves together, making the process smooth, quick, and natural.

We have two sizes, a shorter, Compact version, and a longer version called the Don/Doff. The Don/Doff is the only tool for firefighters that allows single handed doffing of gloves as well as donning. Both versions have the same functionality, but some firefighters prefer the longer size for effortless donning, since the long body allows more space for your hand, while others prefer the shorter size for the ultra-sleek design, ensuring there’s no danger of the Hook getting caught while crawling around on the scene.
