As a firefighter I appreciate other people seeing how much work goes into cutting cars and extricating people out of vehicles. #1 it’s not easy and very technical. You have to be aware of what and where you are cutting along with checking to make you don’t harm the patient #2 you have to be quick and precise since your patient is probably in bad conditions #3 always stabilize an unstable vehicle and be aware of your surroundings #4 gear and tools are heavy or become heavy after an extensive period of time #5 always and I mean always make sure you check your equipment before the start of each shift because you never know what you are going to get

[@mrmoney6138]

The department I use to work for has battery powered jaws of life and ect. Works just as good as the hydronic tools and you’re not dragging around a hose or generator. And the batteries would last about an hour even with cutting and spreading metal. Blew my mind

As a firefighter/paramedic I really appreciate all of the research you guys did for this one. When you called them “jaws of life” I was a little worried that the episode would be filled with inaccurate info (we don’t typically call them that lol), but you guys did an awesome job! Yes a sawzall can cut a lot of the same stuff, but like you said it creates spark. Also, some vehicle posts (like BMW), a sawzall is actually unable to cut through

@@alexdam8218 By description of what they do so there's no confusion - cutters, spreaders, ram. Occasionally like was stated by Michael grab the sawzall or a halligan bar. Mike Brick came up with "Jaws of Life" and it's mostly used by media anytime they report on MVAs or anything of the sort when departments would use hydraulics to extricate victims. I guess its because 'Jaws of Life' makes for a more inticing title than "Firefighters use hydraulic cutters"

[@LtGrandMaster]

We have the Sawzall on our rigs and deepening on the situation I'll reach for it cause it can be much faster. Spark is a concern but a lot of our vehicle accidents don't have much fuel on the ground

[@Cavemanner]

You do not know how relieved I was when it cut to y'all learning about it from ACTUAL FIREFIGHTERS! I was scared y'all would dive right into it and those things can do some serious damage if used both properly and improperly ;)

[@xlxphoenixkingxlx]

Auto extrication using hydraulic tools is an art. To do it quickly, safely and efficiently is very hard to master. Especially considering that every accident is different and car makes and models are vastly different. Newer cars are made out of incredibly strong materials. So strong that a lot of the tools that most rescuers have wont be able to cut them unless they have the newest most up-to-date tools. Have fun and BE SAFE! Never place your body between the tool and the car and always look under/ behind the plastics on the A,B, and C pillars so you dont crush or cut an airbag cylinder. It is fun to cut and break stuff and its challenging to learn how to do it well. Extrication is one of the reasons why I love doing what I do. Cool video guys!

[@xlxphoenixkingxlx]

@Ky Christell I sure am. I have a passion for auto extrication and watching these guys step into my world for a video is super cool!

[@bwofficial1776]

My grandfather wrote one of the earliest textbooks on using the Jaws of Life for extrications. He personally drove out to Hurst to pick up the third set in the country for his department. His house has stacks of awards and commendations for his expertise. This is about what I expected when a couple of random guys buy one and have fun. I'd love to see them get with a fire department and cut open a car for real.

I really like Justin, though I am afraid they have slowly been putting him into more videos to get us ready for some other member of the Donut team leaving. I hope my assumptions are false though.

[@JD-mo9nn]

honestly

[@Feintgames]

There are regular service bulletins from manufacturers to safety departments on how to disassemble their cars and what to look out for. For example, Subaru in the WRX has a tungsten carbide bar or something in the B pillar and the advice for rescue departments was to avoid cutting the pillar anywhere except at the roof line because the material will disable the jaws of life and other extraction equipment.

[@k01bi]

I also think a big advantage of them over conventional tools is that even though they are "slow", it allows constant reassessment of the situation, doesn't suddenly use a lot of force on the damaged car and ultimately, leaves enough time to stop if something seems to go bad. A sawzall or similar if used when things could collapse or or if near a person leave little time to adjust or to stop.

[@craigcampbell1843]

[@alexlutz2221]

In addition to these tools some departments also actually have a large cutoff saws and chainsaws onboard their trucks. They also have airbags and a winch onboard so they have everything they could possibly need to get the job done. However not all trucks have hydraulic or even electric extradition tools. Often only one truck in a department will have a set and will be set up as a purely rescue truck with no pump or water onboard. However this is up to each department and is based on preference as well as the resources and funds available in the area. At the apparatus manufacturer I work at each truck is designed to be completely custom from the ground up for each departments needs.

[@iij354]

What manufacturer do you work for?

[@UncleRayRayGarageEmporium]

Safety note for the future: peel or remove the interior trim before you cut or spread. More modern cars have compressed air cylinders in the pillars and roof to inflate the airbags. Piercing them will do catastrophic damage to that area of the car, and possibly inflate the airbag. You will lose that fight. Cut the battery cables with a gap and let the capacitors discharge before cutting and spreading as well. The system can ve tricked into thinking an airbag detonation requirement is happening, and detonate the airbag. No bueño!

[@lego4virgo]

I think that's why they used that early 2000s Regal--it didn't have any of those pillar/roof airbags, just front airbags for passenger/driver.

[@GolfSwag42]

Another FD personnel input, Cutters and spreaders are a bit more quiet than the other options, cause less shaking and noise while extricating the victims. A patient entrapped is already stressed and adding the noise of a sawzall cutting it is impossible to provide patient care and keep the patient relatively calm. Great content boys!

[@UncleRayRayGarageEmporium]

Another good aspect of these extrication tools is that they move slow enough to stop BEFORE any metal moves into or onto the victims.

It's completely wrong info, but keep on sharing wrong info I guess. They were invented by George Hurst/Mike Brick for extricating crash victims during races.

Brick developed the first portable cutters/spreader/jaws toolset, and ran the company for over a decade.

[@michaelp1017]

One of the other dangers that me and the rest of my brothers and sisters in the fire service face when cutting cars up is the side curtain airbage charges that can kill or blow your or the patients ear drums out if you cut them. We sometimes pull down the inner ceiling of the car to look for them before we cut to make sure we don't hit them as they can activate with out any power supply from the cars battery. A rule of thumb is to cut high and inspect before you cut to maintain the safety of your crew. Most side curtain airbag charges for the front of the car are situated in the B post or in the passengers or drivers seat.

Massive props for going to the Fire Dept. and getting some training for this life saving tool!

[@SpecterSeventy2]

Those tools are now considered antiques! Pretty much the electric & cordless hydraulic extrication tools have become the gold standard for first responders.

Huge respect to all the Firemen out there. I hope i speak for everyone when i say, we appreciate you guys so much... bunch of heroes for real.

[@markielbalden273]

I can safely say that I would probably not be here today without these. To any paramedics or firefighters, thank you for your work :)

[@colemanadamec6303]

Sawsall is often used and is a quick and efficient tool

[@traw6360]

Justin is doing better and better. The whole team is amazing

[@grahammaxwell544]

As a fireman a sawzall is definitely on the rig and one of our go to options for cutting a vehicle

"we can turbo it" this line is going down in history

[@mentallyderanged9169]

I am SO BUYING ONE OF THESE. I love @5:10 how fast and easy spreading the door open. I am a mechanic and it’s a BITCH sometimes to change window motors, never again ever have an issue if not being able to get my hand inside to hold a nut bolt window guid rail. I also able to make custom convertibles for cheap too.

That model of Amkus spreaders are the best of all time they are the lightest and have the best spread

[@anthonywheeler6133]

They’ll usually throw a fire blanket over you to keep you from getting any sparks or glass on you or in any wounds you have. They’ll also give you a fire helmet to wear or hard hat to wear during extrication.

Great video guys, but a wee safety note, I hope you were made aware of the danger of an hydraulic injection injury. In the uk firefighter’s are required to wear nylon gloves under there working gloves to detect if any holes have been made.

The new guy was a little quiet at first so it was impossible to see why you hired him. But he's the perfect addition to the team. Seems like he was always here.
