Favorite tool

Posted 5 months ago I was just sitting here wondering what everyones favorite tool to grab off the truck is. I personally like the halogan or a set of irons. What is the first tool you grab for and when do you grab it? I take alot with me on leaving the truck but leave alot of it at the entrance and keep my halogan with me.. It's not what you don't know. It's what you are unwilling to learn.... |

| Posted 5 months ago First one in, a marriage! anything after that or going to the roof, New York all purpose hook 6'. |
|
| Posted 5 months ago I love the Halligan, I can use it so many ways. |
|

Would SR like the 6' hook, 5' hook, or the latest greatest by ventil8 the S&R tool? Also very useful for ripping sheet metal off the side of an outdoor wood stove. |

| Posted 5 months ago We just got a new set of extrication tools by Holmatro. It is suppose to cut thru all those new post on the newer superb cars. Our dept and 1 other in Spokane are the only ones with this capability. So I can not wait to get out there and try them. |
|
| Posted 5 months ago the latest greatest S&R tool has a ring to it. sounds like a great B-day gift. |
|
| Posted 5 months ago If it's fire i want water, give me the nozzle. If it's search then i agree with the others Halligan's the way to go. Some times if were looking for smoke it's the thermal imaging unit. So it varies. If i'm there before the truck it's me and my flashlight for a quick walk around. |
|
| Posted 5 months ago i prefer either the tnt tool or halligan. if it's rescue, holmatro cutter and/or combi tool all the way. |
|
| Posted 5 months ago my tool is either the irons or the denver tool aka TNT |
|
| Posted 5 months ago I perfer the halligan tool and the New York 6' all purpose hook( in steel). They can be used in may ways together or by themselves. |

saying that you must of had the Champio class on street smarts? I myself had this class about 3 years ago and would love to do it again |
|
| Posted 5 months ago I always go for the short Pike Pole. It seems to help out more often than not most of the time. We usually have the rookies on the hose lines so we can give them direction on scene. |
|
| Posted 5 months ago I would have to say the 4' GATOR BACK by Fire Hooks Unlimited.....pike pole tip, serrated blade on the back and a "D" handle, great for searching and taking out both paneled and sheetrocked walls!!!! As a second option......definitely the Halligan bar! |
|
| Posted 4 months ago I'd have to go with the nozzle... lol. But if I can't get the nozzle it's either the Halligan or a 6' New York Hook. |
|
| Posted 3 months ago My favorite tool...my brain. Without it, all others are useless. democracy, not theocracy, not now, not ever |
|
| Posted 3 months ago set of irons....ever tried getting in the front door with just a nozzlle if you havent it doesnt work to good. if you don't like what I say use the big red X in the top right hand corner! |

|
| Posted 3 months ago Well since I'm stuck at the pump my favorite tool is the ol trust spanner wrench. When I did get to fight fire my favorite tool would be the haligan its name just speacks for it self. When in doubt fire out!!!! |
|
|
| Posted 3 months ago I agree with damnthing. My favorite tool is the one under my helmet. |
|
| Posted 3 months ago I like the K12 ,yes its heavy to carry but it will cut a mean hole .I wished many times we had 1 . |

Irons all the way |
|
| Posted 3 months ago Being that we respond to more grass fires than anything I would say outside of the nozzle it would be a shovel or a slap mat |
|
| Posted 3 months ago for me, halligan all the way, we also have an air door lift thats name i cant recall at the moment(we never use it, training only), you slide it under a door with a sledge, and you life the door up out of the hinges, its not the quickest, but not matter the security of the door you can get through. makes the door almost a total loss though.
