Many Victorinox swiss army knives have a hook on the back-side. The smallest Victorinox model with this feature is the Climber, and it can be had for about $10-15. So, you get your lace hook AND a swiss army knife to boot! You know, there’s one other option too… and you probably already have one.

There are a bunch of different skate lace pullers out there. Hockeymonkey.com lists at least 3 (including this one). My personal favorite, however, is a tool that's actually used to pull springs on motorcycles. They're about 8" long and have t-shaped handles, so it's much easier to reach your laces when you're fully geared up and realize one of your skates is loose. Google search "Motorcycle spring hook" turns up a few. This is actually kind of a crowded market. There are a bunch of different skate lace pullers out there.
