I got another one for you as far as devising a better haligan grip. Take what every firehouse already has plenty of, O2 tubing and medical tape. Take your tubing and rap it around the shaft of the bar in the fashion of a candy cane strip and wrap it with medical tape as you go. If it wasn't for good ole medical tape we would of never made it through the 90's

Several years ago , I did the same trick with my Mag-Light flashlight . I've had the same light for over fifteen years- it is a 6 C cell battery unit and even though it has the engraved "cross-hatch" along it's length it was slippery when wet . One of our "Old Dogs" at the time suggested we do this trick with bicycle tire tube . We had to heat it up in the microwave to get it soft enough to stretch over the end cap and up its length . still on the light , and a great trick of the trade :) Thanks for the envite Ghostman ! Everyone keep each other safe !

HALLIGAN GRIP: If you dont have heat shrink to use for your halligan or axe or other equipment, then you can try this: Cut strips from an old tyre inner tube and stretch them onto the handle to form a good solid handle for better grip.
