[MetalMedic]

With all of the names being bantied around, I am curious now about just how many different hydraulic rescue tool manufacturers there are out there... here are the ones that I can come up with, what other brands are there??

Hurst
Amkus
TNT
Code 3
Phoenix
Holmatro
Gensis
Lukas

I know there is a European company that has been around for a long time, but the name slips my mind at the moment. Ok, who else is out there making hydraulic rescue tools??

OK it is not Hydraulic, But Let us not forget the Curtiss Wright Power Hawk, Enless you have checked it out yourself do not count it out! OK Here is the standard disclaimer. Make sure you evaluate YOUR needs and resources and Buy accordingly

Not heard of Nike or Champion... HK Porter and Curtis Wright I know of, but I am just looking at hydraulics for now.

I remember the name of the Europeon big name, Wagner. I am told this is the maker of the Genesis tool design, let's not argue where the Genesis comes from for now :-)

If all your looking for is numbers try the unlucky number of 13.

The Boss

Kinman,or Kidman

Porter-Ferguson

Walker Manufacturing, The Rescue Gator

I believe the H.K. Porter tool has a hydraulic pump that is driven by compressed air, so it is a hydraulic tool, same as The Boss.
