Rumor FDNY is switching to TNT rescue tools

I've heard a rumor that FDNY is switching to TNT rescue tools from the current Hurst equipment. Any truth to this?

God I hope so. Hurst is too damn heavy

Sorry all of you Hurst lovers, but I've used a few different sets of rescue tools, and I have to say that Amkus is the best that I have used. I am not sure about TNT, but it has to be better than 50lb cutters & 75lb spreaders. ](*,)

Hurst can be a b****, I always liked to see some of the reps when they say 2 man tool and a few of us could wing them around by ourselves.

Tools are like restuarants. I've always like Holmatro spreaders. Never liked their scissor type cutter, in fact I'm not a big fan of any scissor type cutter.

Otherwise I've used Amkus, Lucas, Phoenix and briefly toyed with a TNT but it was an electric run model which was pretty neat.

Hoping to get to use a few different ones again in my AVET train the trainer.
