JAWS OF LIFE

[jtcessna]

combie tool are good for volunteer fire depts who cant afford 2 different tools. i personally like to have seperate tools u can use the spreaders to raise vehicle while u can use cutters to cut whatever needs cutting but i wish we had a combination tool as well as our spreaders and jaws

[FromThe3PointLine]

I need to steal that from the firefighting department down the street because it looks cool

[Bradsworld1]

it should be called "jaws of ill freaking snap your leg in half if you eat my last twinkie"

[wright17wright17]

the jaws of life would not have anything on Jaws from 007 everyone knows that.

[ponypride]

for my it is the best rescue tool

[pistolcrossbow]

[Prentice71]

those are combination spreader/ cutters there not as good as single spreaders or cutters

[RockFan318]

@Prentice71 yea. our rescue has the 2 separate tools, plus some rams, but on one of our pumpers we have a "roadrunner" combo tool. its half the size of the spreader.

i bet if they make a new Saw movie that will in there

[HeeeyItsMachitu]

AWW EWW

[ENCOMAN]

Anyone know who invented this tool?

[fghsnljsdfg]

James Allen Watson, signed blueprints with initials ( JAW) Thats where the nickname came into play.

[ENCOMAN]

Did he work for George Hurst?

[fghsnljsdfg]

Yeah, he was one of the co-inventors

[CHRISCOOBS]

I wanna see a jaws of life torture test, where they push it to failure and see just what it can cut.

[crazyoffroader]

we tried with ours, exactly the same tool, and we cut the nader pin on a car, which is one of the hardest parts.. and that was pretty much the maximum it would cut

[OSUCop]

That is actually the Hurst "Mavrick" (or maybe the Palledin) tool. "Jaws of Life" is a registered trade name for ANY Hurst Rescue product. BTW, why isn't the person operating the took wearing gloves?

[MeXXiPiNo916]

put ur arm in there!

[sk8rinlove88]

actually the jaws do a combination of things. Pinch spread and cut.

[BmanFD164]

yea thatd be cool if that was actual the jaws of life that was a "o" cutter the jaws dont cut they spread!

[pokepokemonmon]

loloololol now only if that was u =P

[twizy123]

stick your finger in there :D

[MeXXiPiNo916]

that wouldnt be too pleasant LOl

[7501234]

thats so funny, getting someone out of a wooden car, but hydraulics are mean killing power

[maverick27502]

true, but the hydraulic pressure it can deliver can cut steel like butter

[fireman1]

that'd be ok if u were cutting someone out of a wooden car :P

[darkspeed62]

@fireman1 LMFAO

[JrSAR101]

@fireman1 they can cut way more then that! they can cut through the roof supports of cars no problem.

[KevinSun242]

@fireman1 Hey, maybe an Amish guy in a horse and carriage are going 100mph down the freeway, and gets into an accident. Always want to be prepared :P
