It is a multi-purpose bar used to penetrate, twist, cut, force or hit. It consists of sharpened claws or a recessed nail puller, a duckbill (chock or adze) and a conical pike, which is especially useful for quickly opening many types of doors. Nowadays Hooligan hand tool has become one of the most versatile hand tools used in the last six decades for a number of tasks in the field of fires.

The adze end or the sharpened claws end of the tool can be used to break locks or force doors open. The firefighter can also perform a “baseball bat-type movement ” to stick the pike into the door frame near the lock or the door handle and then force the door open.

The bar can also be used on sloping roofs. By sticking the tip into the roof, the bar provides a point of support to firefighters involved in vertical ventilation.

The bars are made of heat-treated steel. They have high hardness and ductility and resist impact, avoiding internal fractures that weaken the piece. They have low transmission of vibration. The central axis has a grip that allows the tool not to slip when force is used, avoiding injuries or bruising.

The finish consists of an anti-corrosive electrolytic treatment and baked paint coverage. Chrome plating is offered as an option.
