Description
Portable hydraulic breaching and rescue tool
The HURST StrongArm delivers battery-powered hydraulic force in a compact package that goes wherever you do. Designed for fire, law enforcement and tactical teams, it replaces multiple individual tools by giving you the ability to cut, pry, spread and lift with a single, easy-to-deploy unit.
Interchangeable combi and door-opener tips let you adapt StrongArm to the mission—whether you’re forcing a fortified door, cutting security bars and chain, or creating space during rapid victim access. Its four-position handle and star-grip control are optimized for one-person operation in awkward positions and tight spaces.
Built to operate in heat, smoke and foul weather, StrongArm features an IP54 protection class, integrated Picatinny rail for mounting a light, and a cordless electro-hydraulic drive. Each kit ships with two Li-ion batteries and a charger, so the tool is ready for extended shifts and repeated entries.
