I like that pretty much all fire equipment is made by firemen, for fireman. Nobody knows the requirements of the job better than the workers themselves. Unfortunately, the military doesn't understand that concept.
Hi I'm a retired Army veteran/firefighter I work at a auto salvage yard I would like a halligan tool to pop trunks and hoods to get the batteries out of cars to crush
Hi Ryan, actually our 26" TSR Halligan has higher MA on the adz of the tool. You get a 17:1 MA due to the 1.5" adz. This is all done in a more compact package for tight quarters.
The multilayer, coated handle wrap seems is quite unappealing and unnecessary to me. A durable knurled cut grip on the tool surface is much preferred. Probably a cross diagonal diamond pattern would work well. Previously I had a barbell with a deep diamond pattern. The open angle grove line cuts were made so that diamonds were slightly pointed and very grippy. The manner of the cuts allowed for dirt to fall away and for ease of cleaning as needed. It could be more challenging to make a knurled pattern on a hexagonal shaped handle but, where there is a will there is a way.
Actually, the multilayered wrap is exactly necessary for the demands these tools are put through. The cross diagonal pattern is not ideal for big bulky fire gloves that will slide down the angled ridges. The Lacing Ring system falls directly parallel to fingers and base of the palm to maximize friction and ridges against the hand. Knurling on the other hand actually does not provide much grip again with gloved hands. But this may not be known for those who are not firefighters. Thanks for commenting!

Love the marrying the multiple and bar
Interesting twist on the tool. I am on 2 small volunteer departments. Would make a nice addition.
Pre-Order now! Price is going up next month!
Beautiful Tool. I would love to try and get a Rep or a demo for my Department.
Where you out of brother? Maybe we can stop in.
I’d buy it if it were 30”. 26 is shorter then i’d like. At 30” i can get more leverage without adding another tool for leverage.

Thanks for commenting!
Except I message these guys, tried emailing and get no response
Try again brother, we get a lot of emails. We do our best but still just fireman trying to putting out awesome products.
Tools seem very cool... maybe next time have someone help you in the video. Its Obvious your no sells men. But I think that's what you may be needing.
You’re right, we are fireman making the best tools in the business. We do not fluff and we do not exaggerate. Thanks for your input.
