Paratech manufacture the most 'Dependable and Unstoppable' forcible entry tools. The Paratech product name has been known amongst the professionals within Police, fire and Rescue services for many years and associate the name with the tools of choice for the industry.
Recently Paratech launched their 'Tactical Forcible Entry' range of tools which are available in the UK from Union Defence Systems.
The Modular Battering Ram has 4 interchangeable heads > the Cone head is designed for piercing metal and even concrete. The Standard head is for maximum impact energy. The Ball head is used to defeat glass block and the Coupler allows two MBR bodies to be connected to instantly form a 2 person ram. Adjustable ergonomic handles with hand guard protection allow for ambidextrous functionality. To defeat the toughest fortifications, doors and barriers the MBR would be the ram kit of choice.
The Percussive Response Tool (PRT) is a powerful hand held tool that can be put to work with a minimal amount of training. The 'Slam and Ram' action of the PRT directs all of its force directly at the point of impact without deflection. 5 interchangeable bits are available to penetrate most barriers. The PRT kit comes in an easy carry tool roll and can be stored in tactical vehicles quite easily. This is a very effective tool kit and what I like about it most is that even in narrow spaces the PRT allows the individual user to operate effectively. An example of this would be, in a block of flats with narrow corridors, if a door needed to be forced, a 2 person team using a halligan and a sledge hammer would struggle to function, the PRT however allows 1 person to operate unrestricted.
The Tactical Response Kit is a compact way to take every tool you need for any situation to pry, pound, twist and cut open or remove all types of barriers. This kit is interchangeable so the user can use any combination using the included lock bars. Use a Hooligan to pry, a sledge to break concrete or pry - axe to chop. Everything you need in one kit! What I like most about this kit is that you have a hooligan bar, a pry axe, a sledge, cutting claw, a standard claw and a shark tooth shovel all in one extremely durable backpack. Additionally there are optional extras for the TRK such as the Buster head, the Kelly head, Tactical bolt cutters and the Rake.
The TFE Backpack enables the team to cut, Ram and breach! The TFE backpack is versatile, modular, and interchangeable with the tools needed for forcible entry. I like the practicality that the essential tools are quickly available in a backpack. It means an officer can quickly grab the required tool without delay.
There are more tools available in the TFE range such as the Tactical Hooligan which is available in 4 sizes 24", 30", 36" and 42", the Tactical Pry Axe, Tactical Buster Tool and the Tactical Biel Tool and the Single Piece Forged Hooligan. For more info on the full range please visit >
