Channellock 87 Rescue Tool, Original Version, 8.88

Designed specifically for firefighters, first responders and EMTs (view larger).

As a first responder, your job requires tools that are reliable and versatile. The Channellock Rescue Tool (model 87) pries open windows and doors, cuts wires and cables easily, shuts off gas safety valves, and loosens hose couplings. The 87 Rescue Tool is 2 inches shorter and 30 percent lighter than Channellock's previous 89 Rescue Tool, but is still packed with powerful safety functions essential in emergency situations.

The 87 Rescue Tool offers five safety functions in one compact tool that can easily fit in a pocket. At 8.8 inches long and 1.1 pounds, the 87 features hardened cutting edges designed to shear through soft metal and standard battery cables and a narrow jaw that fits into tight spaces, plus a spanner wrench to tighten and loosen up to 5-inch hose couplings. Channellock uses high carbon C1080 steel for superior performance on the job, and an electronic coating for ultimate rust prevention.
