Make a Grappling Hook Out of Nails! (Check Desc for the Test)

[@Killapeelz]

I saved 15% on my car insurance by shifting to reverse and fleeing the scene.

[@Verradonairun]

You almost made me choke on my oatmeal! :D hahahahaa

[@socialdistancing1399]

That's great broski

[@claytonfair3038]

That’s a new one

[@ZNA_Productions]

Hey guys, half your names don't have reply buttons next to them so sorry if you're not getting questions answered. Wish I could help.

[@koelekerel2004]

Use it

[@talotway]

whats the most weight it can hold?

[@jamo9736]

Eli! You should've posted his reaction to getting it. That would've been killer sweet.

[@mahinpatel7748]

Hey could you modify the grappling hook to be able to be shot out of a more powerful air powered gun like the one from the air powered anything video? and happy birthday to your brother.

[@tophatpigeon2491]

Happy birthday to your bro Silas man also when you wield do you just do full field or do you stop every few seconds (my nephew stops a lot to prevent those drups hes a pretty good weler)

[@jackgale4451]

I swear that angle grinder is your best friend coz almost all of your builds have some thing to do with it

[@jawadkhan686]

You're one of the few channels that actually aren't boring af when doing these builds. Love the comic relief and keep of the good work! You just got one more sub.

[@ZNA_Productions]

Jawad Khan Thanks dude. My goal is to make my videos entertaining enough that even people who don't really like building stuff can still enjoy watching them, glad you hear the humor stands out. Have a cool day.

[@CrimsonSkyz500]

My god. Brings a tear to my eye. I remember watching your very first videos when you were a gooie mushy teenager now you're a freaking beast, and your video man. They're so damn awesome, not that they weren't before. Also you should try your hand at making affordable throwing axes.

[@capnlatenight5356]

CrimsonSkyz I got a better idea You try it! It'd be fun.

[@user-ov2fi2vc4s]

Most inconspicuous wrapping of all time. Great video as usual, bro.

[@regularday2011]

This is gold Jesus Christ how have I not seen this channel before

[@neon_nerd_8822]

I just want to say that not only is that grappling hook insanely awesome. But you are also one hell of a big brother too. Keep it up dude, and ignore the haters you did really well :)

[@IronBridge1781]

Those puns just Hurt

[@numberrocker]

Guys, we might need a Crowbar

[@tobywolf64]

First ever video I watched from this channel (back in MIDDLE SCHOOL!). Still entertaining as hell, dude!

[@XxfiremonkeyxX]

Number one - super excited to finally see a good grappling hook build. Number two - I FREAKING LOVED THE MUSIC

[@xxdankmormonkushmasterxx9953]

Love the new music. And happy birthday Silas!

[@kumo9993]

Bahahaha omg I love the "you're gonna need welder for this" XD The humour is half the reason why I love your vids so much man, keep going hard :D

[@maggiem6209]

Like and favorite for two reasons: the insane ingenuity of this build, and that sick pull-up! New 2015 workout goal: have crazy arm strength. Funny as always, Eli, I give seven puppies out of five.

[@gabeepstein4587]

Great video, I too have wanted a grappling hook for a long time. I hope your little brother has an awesome birthday.

[@VelcroStrip]

I couldn't have thought of a better way to wrap a grappling hook Eli! 😂

[@antonicordova6357]

Awww It would have been nice to see his reaction in getting that as a gift...

[@drason69]

You got some great buds hanging with you. Don't give up your vision for creativity and keep the cool videos coming man. Thanks!

[@kareemadham7166]

I love your taste in music, like no sarcasm it is actually really nice.

[@jonnytest55]

Tell your brother HAPPY BIRTHDAY from Montreal. PS. It's still snowing.

[@kareemadham7166]

I love your profile pic.

[@mariahdoesthelaundry5636]

Jsyk, the songs you choose for your videos are ALWAYS awesome. 👍

[@darienjones7159]

i love how he cracks jokes but doesn't laugh he just keeps on doing whatever hes doing...he has me dyin😂😂

[@TommyTheCat83]

Have my like for the peanuts safety hear scene... I laughed too hard.

[@ZNA_Productions]

Brian Nuxoll. SOMEONE GOT IT

[@timm1139]

[@cooperhardwick8660]

Who doesn't love the peanuts?

[@dawsonmyers5173]

I so glad you're posting more often. Keep up the good work bruh

[@harrymoore4588]

I love the music choice, and the comedy. You wouldn't get that with other DIY youtubers

[@lonewolf8820]

This is off the Hook :D Hehehe

[@willjepson7770]

Loner Wolf why....

[@FastActionBlades]

That's wicked bro. I'm with you, who the hell doesn't want a grappling hook.

[@InuYashaSama09]

You sir have earned extra cool points today.

[@ZednoughtOmega]

Congrats Eli on reaching 100k subscribers!

[@kareemadham7166]

Dangit, I just said that!

[@davidfisher4229]

You are the funniest guy Ik love watching these old videos even though I've seen them so many times the first part always makes me laugh out loud thank you ❤️

[@legoworkshop2908]

[@sambutikofer3963]

"the sleeves have exploded off of my shirt": suns out guns out

[@jabgecko]

Just when I thought this channel couldn't get any cooler... I want a welder.

[@Wajeeba]

Good to see you in a good mood man, that geico bit got me haha

[@desktopevil]

I will never do any of this stuff but still enjoy watching all the videos lol

[@crosenblum]

Another fun video, I love watching you make cool stuff. Even more amusing is your parental advisories, totally reminded me of the bla bla bla in Charlie Brown when adults or teacher's speak, lol!

[@forrestmeader4412]

take a shot every time eli says hes gonna use his angle grinder in a video. seriously i think its his favorite tool in the world

[@DumDumost]

Im a big fan of the music :D love his feeding the lions album! Btw, great build ;)

[@gaodargon]

hahaha the insurance bit and peanuts bit killed me

[@fluid_film]

i can honestly say that i have never seen nails more huge than that!

[@JJ-jq9sk]

MUSIC AT THE BEGINNING WAS PROLETER. LOVE IT

[@idontknowu6422]

That's a really dam cool build man I've been waiting for something I can do with my welder for a while thanks for the idea

[@Glyn-Leine]

damn your little brother is got an awesome gift! i'm sure he's rly happy with that one! XD

[@generico366]

I have a suggestion: build an arm guard which has a spring mechanism that when triggered, causes multiple segments to come rotating out from a compartment on top and form a shield. Alternatively, make an arm guard with a large retractable blade. Looking forward to a reply.

[@thecraftaddict2003]

Ooh! I wonder what that present is! Hey Eli, for a future build you should try to make another knife, with some better steels and heat treating methods, and maybe even a PVC sheath

[@cesarfuerte139]

I was actually looking for a grappling hook on instructables. So... Thanks

[@TheSpecterRanger]

You're competent, smart, and have a lot of experience with all sorts of inventive metal work: you should do a video of some sort of mechanical invention. Whether it be a weapon, trap, survival tool, or just even a handy item for home. And try to think of its form and function all from scratch in your head. It'd be really interesting to see what you could first think up, then craft. Anyway, good job and good luck.

[@tylerandryzeck5967]

Thanks to the rules of my robotics competition, I have the habit of always wearing safety glasses

[@Macetheace93]

Nice build bro always wanted a grappling hook! Just never figured out how to go about it now I do

[@danielcripps3607]

I like that you added music in the back ground

[@jacobtowle9616]

Eli seems like he's crazy happy in this vid XD

[@MagnifyTheLORD343]

bro, you would be a great props maker for movies.

[@tristanT6]

Hey dude why don't you have a lot of followers?! Like you so cool! Plz don't stop. I know life will get in the way a lot. And if you have to slow down or something happens to get in the way. I understand. I just ask and that you never think that no one appreciates you and your videos because "I" DO!! I hope you get this and have a great day.

[@lavius_852]

Awesome vid, looking forward to the next!

[@nicz4657]

That was awesome! can't wait for the test :D keep doing what you're doing!

[@borlad1drifting]

That GEICO joke killed me 😂

[@xpndblhero5170]

I bought the same kind of nails and made super discreet stabby stabs and even one w/ a finger guard.... If you hammer the nail out a little you can make a really cool ice pick looking stabby w/ knuckle guard. 😁😉

[@skylinejake]

Dude dont worry about your welding skills it is how well the hook works and if Silas liked it

[@bradburroughs8039]

Nice hook , Dude ! Cool you have a great relationship with your Bro'.

[@bastiswolf]

Happy Birthday 2 your little brother from Berlin ( Germany ) . Nice job great idea and video thx a lot 2 you my brother in mind ;) keep your head up ;) Bis denne :)

[@timm1139]

Cool wrapping job, he'll never guess what it is ;)

[@dlee6985]

Nice. You're a talented kid. I made one of these when I was a kid, but I made it out of coat hangers and tape. It worked.......really, really badly. Luckily I only lived on the second floor so when I fell off my balcony I didn't die.

[@mariahdoesthelaundry5636]

Aww! Eli is a sweet bro.

[@haunter8o6]

Really like the music used. BTW, love your work ;)

[@weaponkid1121]

Hey eli you should make a video on how to make a wooden chest (most likely to store weapons in). That'd be sweet!

[@legozach77584]

It doesn't feel like a ZNA video unless April Showers is playing.

[@jessalynbeich2628]

Eli, I have a couple of weapon/ gadget suggestions. I'm saying gadget because my first suggestion was a Spider-Man web shooter. Obviously you wouldn't be able to use the cool webbing stuff like Spider-Man does, but I thought silly string could work? My second suggestion was the wolverine claws. I know in a past video you said you couldn't do a spring loaded blade like in assassins creed, so not sure if this would be possible either, but thought I might toss it to you anyway. Love your work, it's amazing. Keep on keeping on

[@legoanimator2ify]

Silas sees the grappling hook wrapped up "ooh i hope its an xbox"

[@JTFisherman]

The most important part of welding is getting the heat and wire speed set right, that I how oh get the really good looking welds without a tig welder. Also about the zinc, it is best to remove the zinc coating or weld in a very well ventilated area because you can get something similar to iron poisoning from the Gasses created by vaporizing the zinc when welding, but since you getting from the gasses it is a lot easier to get and harder to prevent.

[@dazombiekiller253]

Even though I can't make the stuff you do I'll make it one day and I love your videos good job

[@jmgriffin6652]

Such a good older brother

[@ClosureActual]

Man I wish my older brother was like you

[@Strmy100]

bro you are yust.... AWSOME!!! i made this and im climbing buildings!!! ty!! stay awsome! :-)

[@ChaaaalesNooo]

As a structural welder, i approve this message

[@FaceToupee]

I made a pretty kickass grappling hook in my welding class recently

[@macfreak18]

i thought of 2 really cool ideas for you to make- a full housing weaponized shield that can turn you and your friend into a rock... and a simple add-on for the ice skates. and then i have a challenge. for the shield i was thinking (whilst watching a shield video you made) "if someone ricochets a grenade to land behind you, how could you protect yourself from both your enemy and the blast at the same time?" so i thought "what about a shield that can disconnect from itself?" basically the shield would completely house you and your friend/s and when ready you both charge in opposite directions. I suppose this could also be a 4 shield type deal with 4 friends... or maybe 1 shield for each arm and when they're all disconnected they become a weapon (possibly each of them having different attributes), and maybe it could house one other personfriend who's outright ready for attacking but isn't for defense nearly at all. for the ice skates i feel as there isn't much for overhanded use... but WHAT IF you put a crowbar on them? i love the idea of crowbars in post apocalyptic scenarios as i'm sure there'll be plenty of people boarding up their houses, if there are zombies crowbars bash easily into the brains, plus if your enemy dodges really well against the bone breakers, you'll be able to have a lot more reach AND you can snag your enemy and force him into your attack with the other bone breaker. i feel as if the crowbar should swing on an axis but it should also lock in and out of place... perhaps there could be a twisting mechanic that loosens said crowbar to rotate it 180 degrees and tightens to lock it into the desired position. if that doesn't work it'd still be nice to have a crowbar that could change between 2 positions (10-15 degrees would help protect you from swords and fully extended would do all the other stuff). my challenge is this. you're able to get your hands on any supplies you might need... but you cannot use power tools-- in fact, imagine all the electricity has gone out.

[@CorrectsYou]

You've got a decent future ahead of you kid.

[@matthewharper170]

would've loved to see it in use, great video!

[@danielbelzberg2346]

This is an awesome project that only fails once you make it and then realize you can't pull yourself up.

[@glenpope4955]

Daniel Belzberg it's an awesome build yes but you are also really weak... but that's OK because so am I

[@digi_mini3340]

Cheeky bugger is good at selling himself "SUBSCRIBED!!!!"

[@gratefulbear2183]

First video I ever saw!!made me sub!! I made it this week with my brother wish I could share it with you

[@cameronspink6054]

Thanks for your ideas I have made a octahook (8 hooks) and I use it in alligator hunting with my uncle and my dad in lousiana

[@EXASHES]

I love how hilarious you've become lately, keep it up bro!

[@nichartman4688]

I'm diggin the new jams man. Keeps me from wanting to kill myself every time I watch more than one video of yours

[@parkercameron215]

Congrats on 100 K

[@d1viking]

you are the best keep up the good work my man

[@baronblackdragon9078]

If my parents discover that I'm watching this, they might think I'm a psychopath

[@mesost1]

I really like the music you are using!

[@simonsarrazin7988]

You have a good imagination. Keep on going. Wish I could have done that when I was your age. BTW please put back your handle on your grinder. That'll be much safer and easy to control

[@curtis4991]

You could've gotten whats called a threaded coupler to put on the eye bolt, then weld to the bottom of all the hooks for additional strength. Future reference for anyone.

[@logangreene7162]

You can go deeper into your welds with the angle grinder to give them a much tighter and cleaner look on your welds.

[@loganlewis8123]

i made one its amazing thank you very very much i used 1/2 treaded rods for my hooks and 1/2 i bolt

[@minecraftredstoner7780]

Guys got good taste in music, I liek

[@gokugoku3159]

Dude your so creative and talented! Where'd you learn how to make these kinds of stuff I really want to make the things that you make

[@hughbart]

For anyone without a welder or skills to use one..... go to a fishing shop and buy a reef anchor. Not as fun as making one but atleast you get to grapple.

[@baileystariha1018]

hey there im a relatively new subscriber to you and i love the builds,quick question but dont get mad at me for asking but do you/will you take recommendations for your builds from the comments because personally i would enjoy seeing your design for assassins creed style hidden blades. (could count as outdoor build if u do softcore parkour in the video lol XD)

[@milkcartonmartin5565]

i know this isnt related to the grappling hook but this is your latest video and i just came up with an idea for a new weapon. it could be a larger two-handed version of the bone splitter called the skull splitter. the main idea for it is to be heavier so it has more force in every swing, therefore making it easier to kill zombies. so it is basically the bone-splitter but like twice as big.

[@kingofpandas8137]

This is art

[@wildlife1003]

Hi' i liked your building challenges so when comes an other one ? And damn nice hook keep on the good work ;)
