great tool thought the old ones are heavy

in my opinion this product is second to none it has plenty of cutting power is a lot lighter than some of the others and very reliable. From the race tracks to the city streets this is just an awsome tool, cant say enough about it.

Very reliable!

hurst the top of the line.

probably one of the best pieces of equipment since somebody invented the SCBA

This is the best product a company could possess it has saved LOTS of lives

the jaws of life is the greatest tool for saving some one who is trapped in a car i was real pleased with them the first time i saw them in action

To heavy, and do not like the use of non bio oils.

Great tool to have at any rescue. Very reliable and Hurst is proud of their name and will stand by their products.

I love the Hurst line. We recently aquired the M.O.C. tool and it is bad to the bone. It paid for itself when a dump truck ran off the interstate into a stand of pine trees.

I love hurst! U can always count on them to do the job! Great product!!!! Saved many lives thanks to hurst!

best tool for the job

Our rescue carries this.........very reliable........perfer this over any other extrication equipment.

It's never faild me.And I've done some off the wall Rescues with it.

every good tool

Can't beat Hurst Tools....

It can be a heavy tool, but wouldn't trade it in for anything! Love using it!

There not bad but i would put them second to Genesis. Ive taken classes where we have used every variation of tool and i can distinctly remember me gettin paired up with someone to tunnel thru the trunk and take out the backseat and as my partner went to cut the back seat bracket it was the hurst cutter that the blade snapped on.... I still havent found anything that the genesis tools wont rip thru including the nader pin that any of the other manufacturers wont stand behind there tools on

We been useing Hurst for over 20 years an hurst is the best have tryed some outhers but they stall out when hurst keeps on going

when you need the best go with the king of tools....

Currently have an "older" set of Hurst extrication tools on our truck, and they are unbeatable! They take a beating and keep on going! Love them!

These tools were the first of there kind, and there still first in my book, so many options with them, there great.

Great trusted name and design. Good quality and durability. Have been using Hurst for a while and have only had one tool to ever fail.

We use hurst brand cutters and spreaders, some of the best i've ever worked with in my opinion.

Very reliable tool. The ones we used came over on the Mayflower and are still in service!!

GETS THE JOB DONE EVERY TIME

I disagree with the person who said they were too heavy. I am a volunteer and we started out with the old kind of rescue extrication gear that was 100+ pounds, so when we upgraded to the Hurst equipment it was like heaven. I'm a girl who isn't that buff and I can operate it for a very long time. Soooo, I would definately refer it to any department.

we use hurst... we have had the heavy set and up graded to lighter tools... i like them and depend on them.. i have used tnt and the rest of the brands and I really would rather stick to hurst

our department just bought a Hurst Combi and Ram and they work great. would cut a car in half if needed!

awesome tool!! it was in the first set of tools we got when our dept started extracation. hasn't let us down yet

We have a diesel powered Hurst and an AMKUS system. The biggest drawback to the HURT is the Diesel power unit and the difficulty in getting it started. A plus for the HURST is the airpowered system that came with it.

We have 2 tools--32 spreader & O cutter electric power , Paladin unit Honda power, all Hurst ram set w/pedal & steering wheel cutter. I demod a Hurst battery combo tool at our race car extrication class,,WOW is that thing slick but it comes at a pretty price tag (3000?) .
On a side note we do have a Holmatro battery combo for our tech rescue team and it is pretty good as well, just watch the housing it likes to leak hydralic fluid. But HURST all the way for me.

My department has used Hurst Jaw of life for over 20 years and they are second to none. Have used other manufactures tools from other departments and hurst have always been the best in my opinion. Our last addition was the portable gas powered simo pump and the combo cutter/ spreader tool and have learn new still in using just one tool instead of 2 or 3. Can't wait for the next new tool.

I have used all brands of extrication equipment and Holmatro is #1 with me. Hurst is a very close second. My Dept uses all Holmatro...

They work great and keep improving.

the best tool for a long time

The hurst tool are a very reliable set of tools with plenty of power they are probably one of the most powerful sets on the market, but they have some huge disadvantages. I'm an extrication instructor and have used just about every brand of tools on the market and the Hurst tools are one of the heaviest on the market they will wear out a crew in no time and they are one of the most expensive on the market. Being the biggest isn't always being the best.

very good system. Hard to imagine cutting a vehicle apart without one anymore.

our standard and lightest set available................

hate to carry it but very life saving

iam a genisis man my self but hurst will work

very user friendly we have the high pressure system love working with the spreaders better than the combi tool we use to use

great tools, heavy as all hell though. Lots of power

Very durable tools, made in Germany, well engineered, super powerful...only negative (for some rescue personnel) is heavy weight.

We got a new set with Jaws and cutters, They work great. Only issue we had was a mis assembled hose connection. Fixed that and now they are GREAT
