I bought one while I was doing my kitchen remodel a couple of years ago. This one isn't the latest forcible entry model marketed for fire department use. But, it worked very well for tear down of both drywall, and for twisting and removing stubborn studs. After I was done with the kitchen, I took it down to the firehouse for a personal hand tool. Mine is only about 2 feet long though, it doesn't have any spanner or hydrant wrench cutouts in it, but it is nice to have on my truckman's belt. I have used it at a couple of fires for overhaul and to make some inspection holes for extension. It was nice to have a one handed tool that still had some weight to it. The non-slip handle was a good touch too. I bought mine at a local home improvement store. I paid about $35-40 about 2 years ago.

Thanks for your reply Jeff. The tool looks like it has got serious potential for success, only time and trials will tell though.
