Enabling First Responders
The Rescue & Entry Tool for Fire & Rescue
A firefighter’s role is quite expansive. It is dirty, physically challenging, and can be mentally exhausting. It is also very rewarding to know you are helping people on what is often the worst day of their lives. Duties include training in areas such as hazardous materials control, disaster preparedness, and public safety, as well as advanced firefighting techniques. That’s why we aim to support you so that you can save more lives and prevent more deaths.
Have The Right Tools As A First Responder

4 Tools, Countless Benefits
- Tanto-Style Axe – For exceptional strength

Tanto-Style Axe Blade
Strong Enough To Get The Job Done.
Tanto blades were originally designed to pierce armor with high, exceptionally strong points. We used that inspiration to create an axe blade that is optimized for piercing power. Pierce/chop/cut aluminum, metals, plastic, safety glass, wood, trees, car hoods, and sheet metal to rescue yourself or others.
Hammer
Break Through Or Fix What Stands In Your Way.
Having a lightweight hammer on your belt is never a bad thing. Remove padlocks or residential door handles to quickly gain access. Perform field-expedient repairs with nails, brads, and other fasteners.
Gas Valve Wrench
Don’t Let Busted Utilities Catch You Unprepared.
Turn ON/OFF residential gas & water valves in both ½ and ¾ sizes when utilities are down but still have power.
Pry Bar
Lift You Need, Convenience You Want.
At 18 inches in total length, the CTAX is convenient to carry on your belt while still providing powerful leverage. Free yourself or someone else by lifting heavy items or prying open doors, windows, trunks, and more.
