Heavy duty rescue gear for 4821 fire engine

[Tim_w]

Hello Gordon and Bill ,

Excellent custom rescue tool's and an ingenious adaption of old and new in Gordon's design. I am looking forward to seeing the new hydraulic cutters. I couldn't help but notice the discussion surrounding my heavy duty rescue tools. I happen to pop in from time to time but I haven't had the spare time to post any new developments. I must admit I hadn't noticed the error in my original design, its always easier to adapt or improve on something than to come up with the original idea. I am impressed with how you have improved the original idea Bill, thank you for the mention. I am currently working on my own improvement to make the tool cut but I am stuck on one thing, will the cutting blade I am developing be sharp enough ?

Thanks for your kind comments, Tim, and it's good to see you back.  I only noticed the problem with your original approach this week, after many times of looking at your custom.

Yours last remark is a cliffhanger!

Hi Tim & Gordon,
First thing to address is, it's great to have your input in this topic again Tim! I was truly in awe of your original designs of the heavy duty cutters, & spreaders, & only was required to make minor adjustments in your design for the ones I manufactured ! A true marvel you originally created, Tim! Well done ! I'm glad to have been able to give you some minor assistance for you to ponder in your orig/mod design tools Gordon! I look forward to everyones future creations & contributions! Give us a taste of your refined design Tim, I'm sure they'll power through anything!
