Tool Spotlight
Hurst Rescue Tools
The Hurst complement of rescue tools are used by emergency rescue personnel to assist in the extrication of victims involved in vehicle accidents, as well as other rescues in small spaces. These tools include cutters, spreaders, and rams.
The cutter is a pair of hydraulic or battery powered shears that is designed to cut through metal. It is often called the jaws of life, owing to the shape and configuration of its blades. These are most commonly used to cut through a vehicle's structure in an extraction operation.
A spreader is a hydraulic or battery powered tool that is designed with two arms that come together in a narrow tip, and that uses pressure to separate or spread the arms. The tip of the tool can be inserted into a narrow gap between two vehicle panels (such as between two doors, or between a door and a fender) to create separation when the tool is operated.
Rams have a retractable extension arm that can be used to push something apart further such as opening up the space at the passenger leg area. An example is when a dashboard of a car is pressing down on a person’s body, the ram is inserted between the dash and the floor and opens the space up enough for a person to be freed.
