The Key To The City: A DIY Tactical Tool You Can't Be Without

In this video I’ll show you how to make a custom DIY pry bar that you can easily carry with you in Patrol, SWAT, or Detectives. I'll also show you some easy ways to carry it on your SWAT kit, external vest carriers, or soft body armor.

I stole this idea from a couple of guys from New York City’s Emergency Services Unit and I’ve used mine for years. For about $10.00 and a little tactical elbow grease you can have an effective breaching tool with you at all times.
