当首席Halligan退出制作Halligan时，市场充满了劣等工具。纽约消防局（FDNY）的威廉·麦克劳克林（William McLaughlin）认为需要高质量的酒吧，就像哈利根（Halligan）酋长大约40年前一样。这刺激了他创建亲吧，这是FDNY的强行进入工具以及全国许多部门。它也恰好是我个人的最爱和我携带的选择工具，我会告诉你为什么。
来自哈利根的ins和外出：第一部分：酋长和他的丑陋酒吧|第三部分：如何工作
My department, like many across the country, have a variety of halligans across our apparatus. Off the top of my head, I can think of at least three different brands of halligans on our apparatus right now. They range in size from 30 to 36 inches. In spite of this wide selection, I personally went out and bought my own. Why? Because I think it’s that important. I carry the standard 30-inch Pro-Bar. Tool selection and quality is a big deal. Just as there is the new push in departments across the country for superior hose and nozzles, there should also be a push for hand tools. If you can’t get in the building, you can’t do your job: searching for life, extinguishing fire, and salvaging the customer’s property. Every forcible entry class I teach starts off with different tool comparisons. Why? We believe it is that important. If we are teaching at a department, we always invite them to try their tools and ours by way of comparison. People have their personal favorites and the Pro-Bar is not the only tool out there to get the job done. There’s a whole other line of halligans out there I like, but that’s for another day.

Size:The standard halligan is 30 inches long. It comes in other sizes but I carry and recommend the 30-inch bar. Why? It is long enough to give you an increase in mechanical advantage, but short enough to do the job. You always about how important building construction and knowledge is right? Well, it even plays a part in tool selection. A lot of doors are 32 inches wide. If you buy a longer bar, say 36 inches, you’ll find yourself in a pickle real quick. With a 36-inch bar, the tool will bury out against the door frame long before you’ve completed your force on some doors. Yes, the 36-inch bar offers an increase in mechanical advantage but the limitations it places on you make anything longer than 30-inch undesirable. Photo 1 shows a 30-inch and 36-inch halligan placed against a 36-inch (35-inch interior side) door.

锻造：专业棒由单件掉落的钢制成。这意味着它的强度很高，几乎没有折断或弯曲的担忧。还有其他Halligan工具，它们是单件，掉落的，例如Akron Brass Tri Bar（Old＆New）和Leatherhead Tools Leatherhead Bar。这在选择过程中非常重要。其他公司制造了各种各样的Halligans。请记住，这些是导致麦克劳克林（McLaughlin）开发专业棒的原因。固定的Halligans由三个单独的碎片制成 - 轴，ADZ端和叉子端。它们被拼凑在一起，然后将其固定在适当的位置（照片2）。众所周知，这些会破裂。

Adz End:The adz end is important. If you can’t tell by now, all the little details in design add up. The adz needs to be thin, have a slight curve to help get behind doors when setting the tool, and it needs to be in line with the striking surface. Remember, an out-of-line striking surface was one of the huge complaints with the claw tool that led to the invention of the Kelly Tool and the original halligan (Read Part 1）。亲键符合所有这三个标准。还有其他Halligans也接近了。照片3和4显示了Pro-Bar ADZ与另一滴伪造的Halligan以及固定的Halligan。请注意，与其他相比，ADZ的透视表面以及ADZ的轻微曲线。

叉子结束：叉子同样重要。叉子需要苗条，并具有正确的曲线，以方便在门和jamb之间穿过叉子的便利性。他们制造的叉子比专业棒的叉子更薄，但他们也使哈利良人用太厚的叉子制作。厚的叉子的时间要困难得多，尤其是在向内挥动门上，并且没有弯曲的外向门。照片5和6显示了上面的两个Halligans的亲键。请注意，钉在钉住的哈利根上的叉子有多厚。

All the Little Extras:There are a variety of different nuances between the Pro-Bar and other halligans on the market. Some may be of no concern to you, but for me they are just another reason I like the Pro-Bar. To each his own, right? One element is the shape of the shaft of the halligan. The shaft of the Pro-Bar is octagonal, like a stop sign (photo 7). When you square the shoulders off of the Pro-Bar, this gives you a smooth, flat striking service for confined spaces. Some shafts are hexagonal, which places the angle where the sides come together in line with the shoulders. This can make striking the shoulders more difficult. Second, if you are into thru-the-lock forcible entry, the forks can be gapped to pull key-in-knob locks (photo 8). The Pro-Bar requires this gap be made by filing away on the inside of the forks. Other bars, like the Leatherhead Bar, do not require any additional gapping. A third difference across different bars is the adz ramp. The adz ramp is the angle on the end of the adz. Some manufacturers place the ramp on the top. Some place it on the bottom. When the ramp is on the bottom, it can cause problems on inward-swinging doors. The angle does not catch the doorstop well and can cause the tool to slip when force is being applied. Notice the adz ramp on top (photo 9) and the adz ramp on the underside (photo 10).

There are many different options when it comes to purchasing a halligan tool. Before purchasing a bar or putting specs out for bid for your department, remember that tool quality makes a difference. A lot of forcible entry is technique and knowledge, but much of it is also in tool design. Buy a tool designed with the firefighter in mind.
