Overview
An excerpt from the July 2010 issue of "Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement" magazine about the new Szabo Entry Tool:"When you first take a look at his entry tool you see a mix of a pry bar and axe. Laci designed the handles to mimic the shape and feel of an axe handle. This allows for a better grip and hold for powerful over-hand swings to take out glass, windows and light doors. The long Micarta scales give plenty of surface area to grip and seem much more comfortable than the rounded handles found on many tools. The core of the tool is a thick, flat bar of 5160 steel. The head is a vaguely arrowhead shaped with a flat head somewhat reminiscent of a screwdriver tip. A single bezel on the end allows the tool to be used as a pry or wedge. Just under the head, on the forward edge is a hook designed to rake glass and hook blinds or curtains out of the way after taking out a window. While a robust tool, the long flat bar is lighter and easier to pack than a Halligan tool. It would store easily in the trunk of a car and, with some sort of carry system, would ride flat along the back of a tactical vest for entry teams."
