Product Details

The Teakdecking Systems reefing hook removes caulk and other flexible materials from teak seams. Hook scrapes caulk and other seam sealants once they have been freed using a razor knife.

It leaves minimal material residue that can be easily cleaned with a hand sander such as Teakdecking Systems Seam Sander. Designed for a long life span, this reefing hook was made with hand comfort in mind, making prepping your teak for caulking a breeze.

The handle of this tool definately reduced hand fatique. , A sharper angle on the blade would improve tool performance.

Worth its' weight in gold

Learned how to use it watching several very good u-tube videos. I have been rehabbing my sailboats' teak deck which, in retrospect, is too much for a 73 year old! I also bought the Fein tool for my oscillating saw but I'm not very good with it.

Job is always easier with the right tool. Tedious job no matter what but not as bad a headache with the right tool.

An essential tool

I tried to clean out the caulk with other makeshift tools. Bought this. It is easier, less effort, faster, and does a better job. Yes it is expensive for a device that is essentially a narrow scraper, but I could not find it anywhere else.

Removed caulk from my sailboat teak toe rail last October 2018 without the aid of these simple but important TDS tools. Doing additional work on the toe rail this summer with these tools--so much better!

This hook would be great for a teak deck, but is too wide for reefing the seams on the bottom of an old wooden boat. I give 5 stars to Jamestown for their communication and cooperation in cancelling the order!

Awesome

If you are looking to remove deck caulk and you have not got one of these I have a simple suggestion. Pack up and go home. This tool is simply BRILLIANT. Does exactly what it says on the tin. We have had so many friends come onboard and look at all the work we are doing. Same question from all of them ""where did you get that"" $25 - Hah. I would by 20 of them and hand them around. Just buy it. Awesome.

Q: 1/8"" width seems narrow for our teak decks. The gap measures 5.6mm, or about 7/32"" Is there a wider version?

4 years ago

2 Answers

A: This version will work perfectly - you want the reefing hook to be less than the gap as you can use the reefing hook to clean one side of the gap and then use it against the other side of the gap. It makes the gap much cleaner. Our gap is wider than the tool and the Jamestown Distributors reefing hook will work great. Hope this helps Mack & Vicki McGahee Confetti Kadey Krogen 39 007

Q: what is the width of the hook?

A: I'm guessing about 1/8"". I can measure it exactly if you need. It's well made. I'm almost finished 1100' of recaulking.

Q: Hello I am removing caulk from the channels on the deck of my 1957 Century boat. The deck is a light color holly wood and the caulk is hard as rock. The channels are V shaped and I am hoping the the reefing hook is not square but more V shape? Also, do you have a chemcial application to soften the old caulk for removal? Also, the caulk you recommend is? Thank you Rob Hilliard

A: The reefing knife is square unfortunately. I was not impressed with it even though my decks grooves are square. I had better luck using a file that I had heated the point (part where a handle can be fitted on)red hot and bent it about 110 degrees then sharpened it to make my own reefing hook. However I only used it in areas I could not use my mini router with a guide I had made. Not much help if you want to keep the channels V shaped. I was very impressed with the Teak Decking System caulk. Good luck.

Q: will the reefing hook fit in joints that range from 1/8quote-3/16quote?

4 Answers

A: Yes, it will fit. This tool was invaluable during our 1988 Norseman teak deck re-seam. The 30+ year boat building veteran who guided us through the process bought several for his business after trying this tool. We all highly recommend!
