Where to get snake hooks

As the title says, where is a good place online to buy snake hooks, what is a good brand/manufacturer?

Thank you,
Andrew

For really good one jkrgear.com
RBI have nice basic ones....

Midwest tongs. Seriously, I love their products.

Thanks for the responses, the jkrgear hook looks amazing but a bit pricy for me, Im thinking one of the RBI ones for home to work with my animals and then the Midwest tongs field hook, looks really sturdy and exactly what I was looking for.

Add a guy called John Zegel on facebook. He makes custom made hooks, his are the best hooks you'll find.

I order from him from the UK, many of my friends also do the same inc professional venom extraction facilities over here.

x2 on John Zegel, He's a pleasure to deal with and makes the best quality hooks I've seen. I own a Midwest Tongs hook, and I'm not impressed. My tongs are quality for sure, so if you ever need them go with Midwest, but the hooks is essentially a golf club with 5/16" round stock in place of a head.

I cannot attest to the quality, but depending on the size of snake hook you need, you can find some longer ones here: http://www.forestry-suppliers.com/

I think John deleted his account but I agree he made me a hook that could handle the blood pythons and the anacondas and it has been the best hook that I have ever use. I also got one of his periscope hooks and I keep it in my car all the time and that thing work great.

That's the one. As you say best hooks around, light and strong!

I like how you can customise pretty much every aspect with him too.

Does anyone remember FurMont Reptile Hooks? They were state of the art in the 70's & 80's, and I have several left, including a "Stump Ripper", a collapsible "Suitcase" hook, and a dandy small "Cage" hook. I also have several of their rip-stop nylon snake bags left, (all with sewn triangular corners for safely handling hot snakes). I've looked around on the internet and can't seem to find them anymore. I did find a blog posting about the owner of FurMont, Richard Furhman, having passed away, but found no other mentions of their products being produced or available. Glad I hung on to the ones I have, 30+ years and still going strong!

Mind you, I don't know these guys and have not purchased product from either one. That's where they are these days

I bought this one on Amazon.com for $40 with free shipping. It's super light weight and very sturdy, top notch hook in my opinion. I use this a couple times a week on my dwarf reticulated python. It's about the size of a golf club.
