Has anyone modified their halligan forks to be able to pull cylinders? If so could you send pics? How well does it work? Does it compromise the integrity of the forks? I've seen modified adze ends...made wider, but have only heard about cutting forks to pull cylinders!

What kind of success does he have with his nozzle tool?

Got this from the Brothers at Brotherhood Instructors LLC- Certain franchise chains like Radio Shack and Starbucks have taken to standardizing the exit hardware on their rear doors. Take note! The Panic hardware locks into both sides of the door buck (frame)

Tools are not door chocks!! Door chocks are door chocks!! Carry both and you will always have a tool (or two) when you need it (them) and a chock once you're in! It's hard to breach a wall or take a window from the inside with a chock!
