THE PIG forcible entry Tool

With several extrication training events planned for this spring and I’m adding a few more tools to the cache.  I need to get a few sledge hammers but part of me wants to add the THE PIG to mix.  Don’t know what the PIG is?  The PIG Forcible Entry Tool by Lonestar Axe llc is made in the USA.  I’m a huge fan of the irons, it’s what I grab when I get off the truck and I really like the notch for the halligan.  Now the only problem is, buying one and sneaking it past the wife!  We all know how much they love it when you buy something to use at the firehouse!

So I must ask, has anyone used THE PIG?

You can buy THE PIG from Lonestar Axe llc. Also check out their Facebook page, THE-PIG-Forcible-Entry-Tool.  While your there, like their page!
