Description
The Grappling Hook is a 3D model of a white hook and a gray handle attached with a black string. There is a number in parentheses near the name of the item to indicate the number of times the player can use it.

Usage
Main Gameplay
The Grappling Hook, upon used, will swiftly attach to whatever solid surface the player aims at, then pull the player towards that target at a very high speed.

Bully blocks the Grappling Hook.
However, if It's a Bully is in their sight after he spawns, he will block it and steal an item when they reach him. If it hits a surface, then it has a crack and the crack will disappear after the player reaches the target completely.
The Grappling Hook can be used to escape from characters and/or skip their challenges, especially Playtime's jump rope minigame. However, if the player is stuck in something for a few seconds or teleported by other characters after the Grappling Hook hits a surface, it will be destroyed with a snapping sound.

The instructions that show how to use the Grappling Hook to get An Apple for Baldi.

Using this item to hit the trunk of a tree that bears An Apple for Baldi will cause the apple to fall to the ground and be able to pick up. One of the classroom chalkboards has visual instructions for how to obtain An Apple for Baldi using a Grappling Hook.
While the Big Ol' Boots is activated, the player will not be pulled until the effect of the Boots expires.
Challenges

Trivia
- Baldi's Basics Plus
- When the Grappling Hook snaps, it makes the same sound when Baldi breaks his ruler. Because of this, the color of the caption is green like Baldi's.
- This makes the Grappling Hook the only item with different colored captions.
- Before Baldi's Basics Plus V0.2, the model of the Grappling Hook when used was the main sprite, and it does not have a sprite when the Grappling Hook hits a wall. Also, the Grappling Hook had a one-time use instead of 5 uses.
- Prior to V0.3.3, the item's icon was pixel based.
- In the Grapple Challenge, the item's name when selected says it has 5 uses, even though in that challenge, the Grappling Hook is infinite. In addition, when using in the challenge, the number becomes 4 for a split second, then it turns back to 5. However, it only applies when this item is in the first slot. Grappling Hooks in other slots have limited uses.
- If the inventory is full of items, switching any item in the first slot will be immediately replaced with the Grappling Hook, making the switched item, such as BSODA or WD-NoSquee, disappear permanently.
- In V1.0, the Grappling Hook would immediately disappear if the player was too close to the surface.
Glitches
- Baldi's Basics Plus
- If using a Grappling Hook in quick succession, sometimes the Grappling Hook will float in the air.
Baldi "blocks" the Grappling Hook.
- Since V0.3.3, there is a chance that the Grappling Hook is seemingly attached to any character.

- In V1.0, the player would pass through locked swinging doors when the item is used.
