Personal tools

[Sgthalvo]

Hello everyone,
I've been searching around trying to find a personal forcible entry tool and have found a couple, but unable to find reviews for these tools as it pertains to firefighting. Wondering if anyone would have any info/personal experience with any of these: Stanley Fubar, Paratech Beil and related Paratech personal tools. I would really dislike spending money only to find that these tools are weak/useless/too bulky etc. Any info anyone could offer would be excellent and much appreciated. Thanks.

you could try the pro-bar which is the best modern incarnation of Hugh Halligan's forcible entry tool. Its forced hundreds of thousands if not millions of doors across the country, I imagine it would work well for you too.
