Packing Hooks

Packing hooks are hand tools used to pack or tighten various types of packing material, such as rope or cloth, into a gland or stuffing box on pumps, valves, and other mechanical equipment. They typically have a long handle and a narrow, pointed blade that allows them to reach into tight spaces and apply force precisely. The blade of a packing hook is typically made of a strong and durable material, such as steel, to withstand the pressure and wear of repeated use. Packing hooks are commonly used in a variety of industries, including shipping, manufacturing, and construction, and are an important tool for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of machinery.
