Hi all I'm one of the FNG's here at FFN,I want to tell you about what I feel is one of the best pocket tools made. I have been in the fire service for 20 plus years and have had many tools over the years some good some not. I belive in carrying a pocket tool's, I have used mine on most calls or have lent them to a brother to use.
The Channellock Rescue tool model 88 is the one have had now for over 2 years. This is a virtually indestructable 26 ounce hunk of well crafted forged American steel that has replaced several tools in my pockets. I have used this tool for everything from cutting to chopping from prying to bending. This tool does what it sets out to do. I have used it to cut drop ceiling wire that I was tangled up in try doing that with a multitool, with out taking off your gloves, and being able to cut the wire once you do deploy your multitool. I have chopped out a windhield when a glass saw was not available. I used it to pry the shroud and auger of a snowblower to free a set of trapped fingers( Here's your sign). I used it to chop through drywall in training to see if it would help me self rescue, it worked wonders. Prying the the trim off cars to expose the pillars.
What it doesn't do well, Lighting the way , the lack of a light really keeps it from exceling in this area along with helping you to understand the decisions made by command
