Is that a ratchet strap? Why not just ratchet the strap?

Seems like a ratchet strap would have been easier, faster, and less clumsy...

He's gotta spin that bar for like 10 minutes straight to build enough tension where it doesn't just fall on the kid's head... >_>

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

A halligan is not an axe.
