			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://popularlogistics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/halligan-probar_1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-719 aligncenter" title="halligan-probar_1" src="http://popularlogistics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/halligan-probar_1-300x104.jpg" alt="ProBar Halligan tool" width="300" height="104" /></a></p><p>From Toolmonger's excellent post on Halligan tools, <a title="Permanent Link: When You&rsquo;re Outside And Need To Get Inside" rel="bookmark" href="http://toolmonger.com/2008/05/06/when-youre-outside-and-need-to-get-inside/">When You&rsquo;re Outside And Need To Get Inside</a></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">When you absolutely positively need to be inside a building two minutes ago, you need a Mini Pro-Bar. Fire and rescue crews commonly reach for this <a title="Halligan entry at Wikipedia" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halligan_bar?ref=/?s=pry+bar');" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halligan_bar">Halligan-type tool</a></p><p>as a one-stop multi-tool for forcing entry into a building.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">Whether you need to snap padlocks, rip down plaster, rip out recessed or flush cylinder locks, or pry open doors, the Mini Pro-Bar has you covered. Made from 4130 aircraft steel, the knurled shaft recesses into both the fork and adz/pike ends and is heat-pressed and welded. The adz and fork also double as nail pullers and gas shut-off tools.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">Fire Hooks Unlimited sells the Min Pro-Bar in two versions: the 16? bar weighing 3-1/4 lbs and the 20? bar weighing 3-1/2 lbs.&nbsp; Either Mini Pro-Bar will run you about $75 &mdash; getting caught with one in your trunk while wearing a black ski mask will probably cost you a bit more than that.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><a href="http://toolmonger.com/2008/05/06/when-youre-outside-and-need-to-get-inside/">Toolmonger's post</a> has, as always, good pricing and&nbsp; source information.</p><p>To engage in a small amount of local chauvinism, the Halligan tool is named for Hugh Halligan, its designer, First Deputy Chief, FDNY. As is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_tool">Kelly Tool</a> ,&nbsp; "named after its designer, Captain John F. Kelly of H&amp;L Company 163 (FDNY). " (Quoting Wikipedia article on Kelly Tool, accessed 16 June 2007).</p><p>The Kelly, Halligan, Denver Tool and K-Tool are all familiar to volunteer firefighters and other first responders - and part of the training, and usable and available tools of CERTs and other community-based groups. As we've seen in reports from Iowa, freeing a trapped person or animals from a flooded house has frustrated a number of people trying to rescue their own neighbors. We propose that perhaps these tools, and others, shouldn't solely be in the province of professional responders.</p>]]></content:encoded>
