COMPLETELY CHANGES THE WAY WE OPEN HYDRANTS!
Designed and Owned by two L.A City Firefighters
Made in the U.S
The only multi-function ratcheting fire hydrant, fire hose and fittings
wrench! Some fire hydrants have been in place for dozens of years, and
many rarely get used. This leads to rusted valves that are extremely
hard to open. There are many locations where hydrants are obstructed,
buried into hillsides, covered by overgrown shrubs, or barricaded from
high traffic areas. The EZ SPANNER™ allows you to access hydrants from a
better position, and use the ratcheting feature to keep from putting
yourself in compromising positions. Fire Hydrants are now easier to open
because you don’t have to keep taking the wrench off the valve to
re-position it.
Fire hydrants vary by manufacturer, but there are several standard
sizes. Manufacturers give the option of sizes to each county
individually. Therefore, it is possible to find many different sizes
within neighboring counties, and also within some city limits. That’s
why EZ SPANNER™ gives you the option to have your local standard sizes,
and also be equipped with sizes that will fit neighboring communities
where you provide mutual aid, or may be moved up to.
The EZ SPANNER™ was specifically designed to equip firefighters with a
state-of-the-art firefighting tool. It has been too long that
firefighters have been using ancient, outdated tools that aren’t
performing at peak levels. The EZ SPANNER™ gives you an advantage right
from the start. Its added length, width, and overall weight, along with
the custom made hooks, give you the advantages needed to make
firefighting easier and safer. The extension handle gives you the much
needed leverage required to open all types of fire hydrants, while also
giving you the peace of mind to know you won’t have to put yourself in
compromising positions, or have to kick the wrench to get the valve to
move.
The custom designed hooks were developed to gain a stronger, tighter
grip on the couplings and fittings used most often. The hooks eliminate
slipping off the lugs as you tighten down your fittings. The 3 sizes
give you more options for different sized lugs, as opposed to a “one
size fits all” type of hook, and gives you the option to access lugs
from different angles, due to the 3 different positions of the hooks.
The EZ Spanner comes with 4, standard or custom sized
interchangeable socket gears. It has three common sized hooks and an
extendable handle.
