    Looking for a new "key to the city" wrecking tools.

    Been looking at these...



    Or this....has hydrant wrench....but for the coin could go for hooligan tool...



    anyone ever used either?....any suggestions?

    I generally keep a sledge hammer and a wrecking bar in the vehicle....I did have a battering ram in there but it was too much weight vs benefit.....and the officer that saw it gave me $50 for it..... (I've made many of them.....going to make a replacement and have it Linex coated.)

    got a pic of the battering ram?

    I have a bunch of these kicking around:

    I have the short version of the one on top. I have not tried using it to open anything yet, just used it for general wrecking stuff.

    I never really cared for breaching with the Halligan tools.


    I much prefer this:

    Iz, that's more 'key to the kingdom' than the city.


    i have used something similar to it. can't remember what company made it. it was made to straighten floor joists, but was hell on tearing things apart.

    I like the haligan bar for entry we use them all the time.

    The TNT is pretty nice too but very heavy. http://tnttool.com/

    If course I just love a pick head axe for a good cheap all around tool with other uses also.

    Yeah. I wish.

    I'd take it. Hop in the back. I just happen to know how to drive it.

    I bet I can figure out how to make it go boom! My question is, is it capable of firing on the move and while bouncing over the approaching hordes of zombies? I feel like the mounds of brained zeds might throw off the computer as you chug aong squishing them with the tires.

    There has been many of times that I've thought about something like this when I'm framing and have them stinking ass twisted boards. You can hook the 2x with the jaw, straighten then nail away. It would be good to have one these for post SHTF for gathering and rebuilding for sure! As for a key... I would go for this set up.

    You don't need to be the strongest

    but by having the right tools and
    the adaptability of change
    is where you will prevail.
