Steah that fwawk.
As a new firefighter, this is extremely helpful for me.
Fantastic tutorial! Can't wait to break into someone's house tonight! Thank you! Most excellent!
Great explanation and demo. You guys must go through a lot of locks and doors for training purposes
Okay, the little wedge he added at the end to keep progress was cool. So simple.
Good stuff. Thanks guys.
Wow, I had no idea and just learned the word Halligan. Thank you!
At the end, the guys hooks the door and closes it again, to remove the ventilation he just gave the fire
Thanks.
Epic

Timmy looks gutted,
The butt end is scary. 😞 I wouldn't want to trip and fall on it. 😀

It's called a Holligan.... Not Halligan...

The original tool was developed by FDNY Deputy Chief Hugh Halligan many years ago. ( He also invented the Halligan Hook. ) He combined some features of the claw tool with those of the Kelly tool (lock breaker). Eventually his patent expired and the tool was then slightly tweaked (mainly on the fork end) and manufactured by someone else. IDK if the tool or the company was named Pro-bar. I believe the company may have been started by an FDNY lieutenant from a midtown Truck Co. who was also a locksmith and previously had invented the K-tool. In any event even YEARS AFTER THAT other companies manufactured a similar tool and *I would imagine* that the name Hooligan was chosen to avoid legal issues and yet somehow confuse folks as to what tool they were purchasing.
Put the furwk in the door!!
