Hurst Jaws of Life

HURST Rescue Tools are widely recognized across the fire service for innovation in hydraulic and battery-powered rescue equipment. Often associated with the original “Jaws of Life,” HURST develops rescue systems used in vehicle extrication, technical rescue, and emergency response environments where durability, controlled force, and reliability are essential.

The HURST portfolio includes cutters, spreaders, rams, combination tools, and battery-powered rescue systems engineered to address modern vehicle construction challenges. As vehicle materials and structural reinforcements evolve, departments frequently evaluate rescue platforms that balance performance, ergonomics, and operational consistency.
