Extrication Tools

[Guest Truckie 1075]

Sleepy Hollow FD is switching to Holmatro.  Most of Holmatro's tools are NFPA and UL listed..fairly tough tests/certifications.  I love Hurst, but they are pretty heavy for prolonged extrications and for manpower depleted departments.  Holmatro gives you the same power and toughness, but with much less weight.  We have done hands-on with Hurst, Lukus, PowerHawk, Amkus and Hurst.....We will be keeping two Hurst systems in service on two of our engines (E-86 & E-85).......E-87 and R-12 will have the new Holmatros.  Every unit, minus the TL, will have extrication tools by the summer.

sure the hurst tool purchaced 20 years ago was heavy, compare the new hurst to new holmatro, and weight is very close.
