OPNBar has created a custom version 2 model available for custom orders or while supplies last. OPNBar has created a new angled version to accommodate shipping containers with excess metal protruding on the sides, and lockrods that protrude more toward the back. Our new angled design ensures that these metal pieces do not get in the way, while still providing the same amount of leverage for opening and closing shipping container doors.

The base of the bar includes an optional female screw attachment that allows the operator to add on different extensions for different leverage uses. Leverage tool uses the principles of leverage to do the difficult work. Leverage helps to loosen hinge pins and blades that are seized due to corrosion. Leverage helps to loosen damaged or frozen gaskets preventing shipping container doors from opening and closing. Eliminates the need for additional tools. Finds Poorly Inflated Tires. Tire Thumper aka tire beater assists the truck driver and operator in evaluating properly inflated tires.

If there is air in the tire, the tire thumper will bounce easily and make a loud, sharp thud; and if the tire is flat no air it will not bounce much and will give a sound like a dull thud when it is smacked.

Soft-metal hooks such as those made from aluminum are unsafe as they are too susceptible to bending. We eventually settled on the current V-shape because we found that it worked with the widest variety of thumb locks that we experimented with. How have firefighters responded?

Everyone we demonstrate the tool for is really amazed at how quickly and easily it can be used to access and operate the thumb lock to open the doors. We took the tool to trade shows in Ocean City, Md.

Responders like the small size of the tool, because they can carry it with their existing tools for forcing doors. They also liked that it can be customized with their company patch and name prior to the protective shrink tubing being applied; this helps keep the tool from "wandering away" when the call is finished.
