Monkey's Fist DOOR KNOCKER | Impact Tool

Are Monkey Fist Impact Tools Weapons? Read On and Decide for Yourself. I was up in a mountainous reserve park during a severe ice storm in pitch blackness because power lines were down and local cellular towers were offline. Meters away from me an elderly person's vehicle went sliding off the road into a ditch and the driver was slumped over the wheel with the engine running and the doors locked. Other than deep snow and ice, there were no visible rocks or heavy objects to be had. That is when you need what I keep as a rescue device - a monkey fist with a 2" diameter steel ball very similar to the one Tim has posted in this video. One good arm swing and the tempered glass window disintegrated providing instant access and enabling first aid. In addition to monkey fist impact tools serving as rescue devices, they can also be outdoor life savers. Whether you climb rocks or trees or other structures, tossing your monkey fist at the end of a 2ft long paracord lanyard can lodge the fist between a crack in rocks or a pocket in a tree or between metal interfaces on a ladder thereby keeping a person from taking a perilous plunge. Impact tool can also be great to pulverize ice that your wheels are stuck on during the winter. And if you ever need to get into a burning building, a monkey fist will take out a giant glass window more easily than an axe. And there are a multitude of situations in real life where you need cord to help you out of a jam - clothes line, fishing line, automobile load tie-downs, package ties, emergency suspension, ..... A monkey fist with 11 passes of paracord and 2" of paracord lanyard can give you about 50ft of Paracord 550 which can be disaggregated into 50 x 7 = 350ft of single paracord strands that can support 50-100 lbs each. Oh, if you are left with that beautiful chrome plated steel ball in the core, you can use it as a certified baoding ball to strengthen your hands and help meditate yourself out of your predicament. The list of uses of MF Impact tools can go on and on. It is not clear to me why some states or countries classify these devices as unlawful weapons while they allow people to stroll down main street carrying firearms, hunting knives, clawed hammers, 12" scissors, razors and more. But like other intimidating devices, if you keep you mF impact tools in your backpack or trunk, or other location where they are not visible and you clearly do not have any intent on wielding them around with malintent, then you are not likely to get into any trouble. I live next door to a respected police officer and showed mine. He fully agrees and I am happy to report that he has also learning to become a Weaver of Eternity. Cheers, Murray

I want a monkey’s fist as a keychain! I think they are cute😊 lol

Is there a limit as to how heavy a ball we could tie rope around and use as a tool such as featured in this video? I've got a 12 pound shot put that I would love to attach rope to and use as a workout on the beach. Can rope support a steel ball that heavy?
I love these videos!

Face knocker

"Doorknocker" - sure it is.

Where can I buy this ?

Enjoy your channel. Why don’t you sell any of your monkey balls designs? Thank you.

your design is great, but after enclosing the 1" steel ball bearing in the monkey fist knot I played with the thing for a bit and believe that If a blow would happen to connect squarely it would crack a human skull like an egg and the perpetrator would probably not survive it. Then I looked up the law in my democrat run current resident state and notice that, making, repairing, or carrying one is a class 3 misdemeanor. So on to a different hobby!

And there you have a recipie for a potential lethal weapon... Just make it longer and then you have a blunt weapon

It catches my attention at 2:30AM, then I get the handle and it starts to look like literal wizardry.

I was in the Navy for eight years, not a boatson mate, but machinist mate. I still woshed i had learned to make one!

CooL knOts ....but ...I quest this things will damage your hands too...btter use a brass knuckle more safety...😎😎😎

A great nut cracker too

Really cool ,and easy. Awsome idea.

Love your videos so helpful

If you would go just a little slower someone could learn how to do this so much easier. . Explain what your doing, show what your doing.

I just finished my first door knocker. Sort of not as good as yours. My metal monkey knuckle is still showing abit. But I finished and it took me maybe 3 hrs.

Would have been nice to see a demostration of how it effective it is just sayin'.

they are used for knocking down dry walls, tenderizing meat, slapping a hole in a robbers skull or just to knock on your neighbours house

PIVOT!!!!!
