A basic tool that helps with many jobs on construction sites and around the home- Prying, positioning and removing paneling, molding, shingles, scraping paint, pulling up carpeting, pulling stubborn or rusted nails, removing heavy staples, opening paint cans, removing hubcaps, and more. Also great for skin jobs, as the design of the shearpd crook won't weasily get stuck in their skulls.		 The Hooligan Tool is one of the world´s most popular forcible entry tools. These heavy-duty tools were designed to pound, puncture, pry, twist, and cut all types of barriers encountered by emergency service personnel.The head and claw are forged from high alloy steel, heat treated for maximum strength, then fitted to a 1” (2.5 cm) stress proof bar. The bar has machine grooved non-slip grips. The Hooligan Tool features a newly designed claw that is gently curved for maximum prying leverage. The claw opening is parallel and fits over locks, hasps and many door bars. It can also be used as a nail puller and a gas shut off during emergencies. The new “Highway Hooligan Tool” features a new metal cutting claw with a machine sharpened metal cutter that uses the can opener principle to cut heavy gauge metal and composites.
Standard Claw: Parallel opening for gas valve shutoffs, locks and hasps. Machine sharpened claws. Recessed nail puller. Claw radius for prying leverage. Grip-machine grooved non-slip grips.
Metal Cutting Claw: Combines the capability of prying and metal cutting. Machine sharpened metal cutter uses can opener principle to cut heavy gauge metal and composites.
Bright Chrome Finish: The originalstandard Vaughanhigh gloss chrome plated finish is available for good looks and easy maintenance.
Long Pike: Sharp, tapered and gently curved to fit a lock or latch.
Long Duckbill: smooth incline to force windows and interior doors.
Recommended Users: Fire departments, law enforcement agencies, rescue squads, hazmat teams, plant/refinery maintenance crews, military and public utilities, and post-skin job uprising salvers.
Application: Though best used as designed, a TOOL for forcing entry, a Hooligan could be used if one were suddenly attacked by a skin job while securing gas/forcing a window/etc. One whack from this, if you’re strong enough to actually use it as intended, should split their head open like a cantaloupe. However, it is still best employed as designed, like all weapons of opportunity.
