Benchmade Rescue Hooks

[CATM Larry]

What kind of experience does anyone have with these? I bought one a while ago for my first aid bag for the reserves, never got around to really using it. Had a training exercise at work today and ended up using it to cut off my Tyvek suit and was just amazed! It zipped right through the suit, even the zipper, with very little effort. I went online and ordered the larger 6 H2O. I am already going to recomend it to our response coordinators for emergency removal of suits, without puncturing your own suit. It could be used to safely cut rope and other entanglements without compromising your own protective gear, I am digging it! Sorry, but I feel like a kid who just discovered how cool a new toy is :shades: Interested in other peoples feedback, let me know how well and for what it works for you.

PS The bottle opener just adds to the cool guy factor.

I've used it a couple of times to cut seatbelts for extraction. Worked pretty ok.
On the other hand works great on fishing line when I am on the river too!!
