Grapnel Uses 5 Years ago

I would be interested in hearing about uses and techniques for this tool.
Mine arrived a couple of weeks ago and I have used it once to retrieve a stuck line but found there was a real danger of getting the hook itself stuck in the smaller branches.

Bill-
It's really nice if you're up in a tree and making second or third pitches, that land your throwline/monkeyfist out of your reach. Tossing out your grapnel makes it really easy to retreive those lines. They include 20 feet of line on it, which has always been plenty long enough for me to get back my stuff. A few times when I got a throwbag/line snagged and went up to get it, I used my grapnel to snag it and pull the line to me so I could yank it or pull myself over to the snag.
