Abstract: A multipurpose rescue tool comprising a unitary metallic sheet member of a uniform diameter having an L-shaped hook portion, a grip portion with U-shaped finger guard, and a flared base portion. The head of the hook portion has pivot notches formed within the peripheral edge, a first end tapered to an acute tip, and a second end comprising a spanner wrench opening. The base portion includes opposed V-shaped flanges for improved grip and a gas valve shut-off aperture. Balanced weight distribution, size and overall tool weight render it capable of storage and transport within a responder's turnouts for efficient use regardless of hand size or strength, in striking, peeling, screw driver, hammer, pry bar, spanner-wrench and valve stem applications.

Abstract: A hand tool for use by a person, such as a firefighter, is disclosed. The hand tool of the present invention comprises a unitary sheet member having a substantially flat top side and bottom side, each mutually connected by at least one peripheral edge. The sheet member comprises a handle portion having a finger grip section and a rear section. The finger grip section is adapted for gripping by the person's fingers, and the rear section is adapted for gripping by the person's palm. The finger grip section includes a first finger guard at least partially therearound for protecting at least two of the person's fingers, depending upon how the person holds the tool. A hook portion has a hook fixed at a hook base proximate to a top section of a neck. The neck is fixed at a bottom section thereof to a top section of the handle portion. A tip of the hook may be formed into a regular screwdriver. Further, pivot notches may be formed in the peripheral edge proximate the tip of the hook.
