HURST Jaws of Life®: The Gold Standard in Vehicle Extrication

Modern vehicle construction—crumple zones, ultra-high-strength steel, reinforced safety cells, and advanced side-impact protection—has made extrication more complex than ever. Getting through today’s vehicles is not like cutting up a 1998 or even a 2008 model; the materials are stronger, the structures are more reinforced, and access points are far less forgiving. This is where HURST Jaws of Life shines. Engineered specifically for the challenges of modern vehicle extrication, HURST tools deliver the cutting force, spreading power, and control required to overcome today’s advanced automotive construction—helping crews create access quickly, safely, and effectively when it matters most.

HURST

Extrication Cutters

In nearly every extrication, cutters are the tip of the spear, creating access and driving the rescue operation forward. HURST Jaws of Life cutters are engineered for maximum performance and operator safety, featuring advanced blade geometry that engages metal from four points instead of two for a more controlled, efficient cut. This design improves bite, reduces deflection, and minimizes the risk of tool “jumping,” delivering faster, cleaner cuts through modern high-strength steel with the precision and confidence required in high-stress rescue environments.

Extrication Combi Tools

When versatility matters most, HURST Jaws of Life combi tools deliver cutting and spreading capability in a single, highly efficient tool. Designed for rapid deployment and tight-space extrication, combi tools reduce the need for multiple setups while still providing the power needed to tackle modern vehicle construction. Ideal for first-in units, smaller apparatus, or evolving rescue scenes, HURST combi tools give crews the flexibility to act fast, gain access, and adapt without sacrificing performance.
