New 2024 Firefighter Tools, 2 Pack Firefighting Tools, Flexible Pry Opening Tool, Multipurpose Leverage Tool, Pry Tool Hand Tools for First Responders and Firefighters, Spring Steel Multitools

First of all they actually work pretty well. Thin enough to slide between the door and door jam to slide behind the door latch. You can use the end with the l-shape to or the bevelled end to easily slide between the latch and the door jam to open the door.Where I have the issue, is possibly a failure of imagination to figure out if there are more uses for this tool. A little too soft for a prybar. And it will not likely work on a door with a door bolt.Interesting concept, but if i’m in a real hurry, i’m not likely too concerned about going through the door.

I found this so-called ‘tool’ to be pretty much ineffective on most locks and doubt that any first responder of any sort would carry one to use in an emergency situation due to its limited applications. I watched some YouTube videos on it and similar products and experimented with it and yes, it will work in some situations on interior, non-keyed lockable doors, but found it to be pretty much useless on a keyed lockset. Maybe it’s just me but this ‘tool’ is basically an overpriced 4.5” ruler and straight edge and not nearly as useful as expected.

This "gadget" will only work on specific doors.One video by a customer shows him using it on a door with the lock on his side. Why wouldyou need it then ? I tried it on 2 different doors and it didn't work. Only because it was cheap I will keep it as a back scratcher.

Well, these will work, if the door opens towards you. They are not flexible enough to go around the doorjamb if it opens away from you. It will not work on a properly installed dead-latch or a deadbolt. Where it works it will save wear and tear on your drivers license though.It will fit on your key ring, if you don’t mind an over 6” piece of steel hanging there. That makes it hard to get in and out of your pocket. The firefighters I know aren’t worried about surreptitious entry. They use big, heavy tools that get them through a door fast, because they don’t have the time to mess around with it. They just brute force it. If they get the fire out, most people will forgive the damage to the door and frame. They call this a firefighting tool to skate around the fact that it is really a burglary tool. If you are carrying it and are not a fireman, guess what the police will call it.This is of limited practical use. I rate it in the gimmick category. Save your money and buy a spare key.

The media could not be loaded.  I have seen these advertised and thought "Yeah, how long did that guy practice?" So tried it once, then pulled out my camera and filmed my second try. 8 seconds, locked door was open! You simply put the one end in, pull and wiggle and door comes open (note that 8 second video is also only using one hand, I was holding the phone with the other hand!). For an inward swinging door (swinging toward you) this is slick!But for a door that swings the other way, the trim maybe in the way. This may not be a big deal, often you can loosen that trim a bit, you can get the tool in there, and perhaps get the door open. When Fire Departments open doors, usually the door and often the door frame must be replaced, this tool maybe tried, and might damage the trim, a quick, easy, inexpensive repair for the homeowner.This is a two set, one will go into my turn bunker pants pocket, and the other will go into my EMS pants pocket. It probably will not work on every door, but it is one more tool we can try. I am looking forward to playing with it more, perhaps some doors at the fire station or on some calls. Inexpensive, light weight, very thin, easy to carry, and might just help save a life someday. 5 stars in my book.

RUN AWAY.. these are so cheap and thin- i bent it on my pantry door latch!!!!. Experienced 13 yr first responder here- the FIRST one, not fire or ems- the OTTER one that actually gots to go first- i wish i had not purchased these- you shall not either

Product did not work as intended. Thought it would have been a better shove knife but every time I use it the metal just bends on me. Great idea but bad design

I work in public safety and do sometimes have to force entry. This tool is a handy addition to my cargo pockets. It is a little on the flimsy/lightweight side, but it seems to work well enough. And at this price point if it's lost or broken it's easily replaceable. Glad it comes in a 2-pack, I keep one in my pocket and one at home on 'standby' if the other gets broken or lost.
