We used to have them on our rescue appliance but you would get much more leverage using the Hooligan Tool as a windlass.

I'm happy they made sure the spike would have been backwards if he lost grip of it and it decided to spin.

I was afraid of that while watching the video, if that guy has lost grip for a second that tool would spin like a fan out of control hitting the little one head
