no commentary, no explanation, its all watch and learn! props!!!!

I've been struggling with this carrying issue. Thank you for the tip!

Dude lives and breathes fireman

Carried a halligan every day for 30 plus years on a rescue. Pretty slick tip, used the halligan as a swinging tool for overhaul etc, so not sure that carabiner wouldn’t have just created more issues for that, but worth a try if you’re the typical US firefighter I’m in a suburb department that leaves you understaffed so you have to do engine work and truck work.

Tried it but the carabiner was an issue when swinging. I guess it’s not much of an issue just a preference. I attached a ring instead of the carabiner and had that hanging onto a carabiner. More manageable.

@@Lobo59470 good info. I wore a truck belt and on the rare occasion I needed it out of the way I simply tucked it in at the buckle and slid it to my side. Mostly I kept it in my hand as I didn’t have to do much pulling of hose other than bring some extra slack up the stairs on my way up for the nozzle team.

Halligans aren’t for swinging these days so this would work just fine

@@Fitbitz if you don’t think halligan are for swinging, you don’t know much about halligans or the job. Halligans can be swung to spike the door and force the majority of inward swinging doors. Halligans can be swung to split the framing of a window casing or door frame during overhaul. Halligans can be swung to pop a purchase hole in plaster and lathe walls before dropping the forks down the hole and popping the rest open. A halligan at its core IS a swinging tool. Learn your craft my friend.

@@Rescue-mt7fl they are not where I work, or any department I’ve heard of. you can strike a halligan with a flathead to create a purchase point, but halligans are not meant to be swung.

Wow bro how did I not think of that. Thank you. Brilliant. I love my tool but need my hands

Slick spot, looks like you put it on like a sword.

I’ve heard somebody mention making a kydex sheath before and couldn’t help but to burst out laughing… some folks…

Love the concept and video! But i have to say it, gives me “uncle Rico” from napoleon dynamite kinda vibes lol.

Awesome! Thank you for the idea brother

Thank you.

Now thats a great idea

I like it

Thank you Bronson

It’s a cool setup! I’m not trying to hate! Buuut with all the weird positions we get into and if you fell off of something and onto that I could see that spike going right in me. Maybe I’m crazy but that was just my first thought. Either way cool idea and if it works for you roll with it brother!

I switched to the Xinda screw gate style instead of the twist lock and it's been great with gloves. It's a pretty large carabiner

now take it off with gloves

Why not just use sometype of nylon sheath that way u get rid of the clip and its faster no havn to clip n unclip
