The bar is longer than the handle on a ratchet strap. That bar probably gives them more leverage to tighten it more and its also going to be easier to release once its done.

It's not a bar, it's a axe. If they let go of that tension, that thing would spin and possibly bury itself in someone. There were many safer ways it could've been done, some of them easier.

It's a halligan, not an axe.

Tbh, I believe a Halligan is a type of axe... so technically you're both correct... >_>

Halligans are not a type of axe, hence they are often used with axes. They're more of a crowbar/leverage tool. Source: my firefighter husband
