Your Favorite Tool and The Way You Use It
When I joined FFN, I had one thing in mind getting to know more people and extend my horizons as a firefighter/officer. In order to be more versatile every day I'm asking you what your favorite hand tool is and how you use it...
Please surprise me, tell me what special way you use your halligan, axe or hook. Feel free to propose tools you invented or improvements on existing ones.
I'm waiting to hear from you all...

You can never go wrong with a set of irons if you know how to use them they are your best friend, and they don't talk back either.

Hey I've got one too, but quite useless on a fireground... I'd be way to scared to scratch it...

The FUBAR isn't bad for a personal tool, if you are willing to carry it. I have modified it as you see by cutting off most of the lower tooth and flattening/thinning the adze as much as I can get away with. I also whittled on the forks some. I bought the commercial grade (less expensive) and it comes much more like a crowbar than halligan forks, so I had to work on it. I have used it for vent when the saw puked and forcible entry with wooden inward swinging doors, and overhaul when I found 5 inch pine boards for a ceiling. As an officer, It keeps me armed at all times. I looks like a vicious beast ready to eat things...mmmm, casement windows. Stay Safe. PTB

What the heck is that? You can use it for entry, ventilation, or to sack a village. If I carried that, I'd have to put Viking horns on my helmet!
