The electroless nickel finish satisfies the requirements for an attractive easy to maintain first line forcible entry tool.

Pry Axe

It's been more than 40 years since Paratech got together with Chief Emanuel Fried (FDNY Ret.). Chief Fried had designed and patented the Pry Axe and was seeking a manufacturer. Within 5 years the Pry Axe was recognized as the best officer's tool in the U.S. fire service. Ten years later it was world famous. After several design enhancements and material improvements, the Pry Axe retains its unique status in hand held forcible entry tools.

Biel Tool
The Biel Tool is another Paratech hand tool that is designed to be used to assist in personal entry and escape. Weighing only 3.3 pound, the Biel Tool is lightweight enough to be carried in the pocket of your bunker coat or on your belt. This small axe can also be extended to a length of 19 inches if additional leverage is needed. Just press a button and the tool will extend or retract to meet your needs. The Biel Tool has the following features similar to our famous Pry Axe:

    Slam & Ram claw insertion.
    Forged from high-strength steel.
    Electroless nickel plated for easy maintenance.
    Non-slip molded rubber handle.

Percusive Rescue Tool
The PRT is the ultimate emergency service penetrating tool. How can we make such a claim? The slam and ram feature utilizes over 13 inches of stroke which allows you to deliver the same force as a sledgehammer but with pinpoint accuracy. By eliminating the dangerous backswing arc of a hammer blow, 2 things happen:

    There is no hammer deflection. All of the striking power is delivered to the point
    of impact.
    Safety is greatly improved over a wide range of penetrating applications.

The PRT kit also includes seven (7) interchangeable bits that can easily be changed depending on your current obstacle. With the correct tool bit the PRT can penetrate concrete masonry, sheet metal and many composite materials. An optional penetrating nozzle can also be purchased for extinguishing engine compartment fires, mobile home fires, aircraft fires, and more. The kit rolls into a self contained pouch weighing only 29 pounds allowing the PRT to be carried to the task. Contact your local Paratech distributor for a demonstration of the PRT's unmatched effectiveness.

Kelly Tool (WestCoast Tool)
The Paratech Kelly Tool is an excellent tool for anyone who wants a hooligan tool without the protruding spike. Available in several lengths and material, the Kelly Tool has become very popular across the western US. The working features of the Kelly Tool include a claw for prying, a nail puller, and adz for chopping, and a striking surface for accepting or delivering hammer blows. All of these features make the Kelly Tool an excellent addition to your current forcible entry tools.

Hook & Claw Tool
Hook & Claw Tool Another excellent tool designed for a wide range of rescue, forcible entry and overhaul work. The Hook & Claw is heavy duty from top to bottom. Both ends are forged from high strength steel and feature and attractive electroless nickel finish for easy cleaning and rust resistance. Order a Hook & Claw tool in one of three lengths for each of your truck (H&L) companies because there is no better tool to rip and tear with.

Super Rambar
Paratech originally designed the Super Rambar in response to the need for a compact tool with the force needed to gain entry quickly. The Super Rambar met this need by offering a slam & ram action with over 12 inches of travel that allows a single person to deliver a strong precise blow while weighing only 16 pounds. The compact size and lack of a swing arc makes this tool an excellent choice for use in narrow hallways. The success of the Super Rambar also led to the development of another slam & ram type tool, the Percussive Rescue Tool (PRT). Whether you are looking for a basic slam & ram entry tool or the ultimate slam & ram entry tool (PRT), you can count on Paratech to meet your needs.
