Vehicle extricaiton only....
thanks. I was thinking of it as a tool belt option. (smaller version) Irons are always first in for our team but are sort of buly. Also thought of using them for mva's. prying hoods , punching a sawzall hole in the windshield, etc.
I agree with you on this one. I also do construction and have swung this beast a few times. For the limited amount of use it would be able to get, it's not worth the cost. You grab the irons, I'll grab the z hook. Lets get to work. :)
We carry one on our engine. I have used it a couple of times and I really like it. Of course, it doesn't replace the Irons, but it works really good. We carry the big one on our rig.
nope no expierence

Remembering 9/11
My sister wrote this poem the other day and she shared it with me. I thought it was so good that we shared it with our department and now I would like to share it with all in our field.

We stared in wonder
Bowed our heads in sorrow
Looked to Heaven for answers
And cursed the Gates of Hell.
We were rescued
But we were not saved
We were injured
But never cured.

They risked their lives
They sheltered our heads
They ran out with us
Then ran back in.
