INDUSTRY INNOVATIONS: Council Tool Forges New Halligan

Council Tool’s firefighting tool line includes a new Halligan forcible entry tool.

The one-piece tool features a fork (claw) end with an adze (blade) and awl (pry bar) on the other end; both ends are designed for ideal leverage during forcible entry applications.
